What a week! It was Ticketmaster that consumed the bulk of my time this week with the media getting themselves into a bit of a frenzy over a data breach that at the time of recording, still hadn’t even been confirmed. But as predicted in the video, confirmation came late on a Friday arvo and since that time we’ve learned a lot more about just how bad the situation is. I’m going to save that discussion for Weekly Update 403 and between the time of writing this and going live, I’m sure we’ll learn a lot more about the whole Snowflake situation as well.
