It's the Chinese with payback for Mack 'The Knife' sledging their swimmer.
Person makes stupid comment on facebook or twitter, 'my account was hacked'
Government sets up website for the Census, which is flooded with everyone logging on at once trying to complete it and the system can't cope with the volume. 'We wuz hacked'.
Because August 9 is Census night, you have to fill the form out in regards to August 9 whether it is currently August 9 or not. You can fill it out weeks in advance or weeks later, but it has to be relevant to August 9. It's a very simple concept to avoid people filling it in on August 6 and counting the 10 people that are at their house for a party, and then one of those people filling it out again on August 13 when those same 10 people are at their house for a party.do we actually have until Sept to do it? then why the **** do they yap on like august 9th is the 'due date'
It must just be a coincidence that this hacking attack took place in peak times last night when every man and his dog was trying to log on.
I can't see what reason overseas hackers would have for hacking an Australian census website anyway so it sounds like a bullshit excuse to me.
If it was hacking how come I could get onto the website and get to the java pop up which gave me a message saying to come back later - wouldn't nothing work?
What time? Most ppl just got the generic site down messages.
Either way, if they didn't size it correctly they DDoS themselves
Shots fired at 4chan. (or is it 8chan these days).DDoS is not hacking anyway
Surprisingly enough a DDoS attack unlike a DoS attack looks like alot of different people trying to logon at the same timeIt must just be a coincidence that this hacking attack took place in peak times last night when every man and his dog was trying to log on.

A spokesman from the Australian Bureau of Statistics has stated that: “Online could handle 1 million form submissions every hour. That’s twice the capacity we expect to need” (“Chaos plagues countdown to online census”, 2/8). The ABS is expecting to collect data on 24 million Australians, but the only information I have received is an envelope in the mail. One side states “Your census login inside. Keep it safe.” And on the other: “Keep this safe and save the date. Census night is Tuesday, 9 August 2016.” There is no suggestion you should do any preparations, or that there are any alternatives. So I expect most eligible people will arrive home on the ninth, have dinner, then think “oh, the (expletive deleted) census”, and expect to be able to finish it before bedtime. This could mean up to 10 million people trying to respond in one hour. I predict total chaos, and as it will be too late to make other arrangements a very large number of people will say something like “To hell with that”, and go to bed.

Not going to bother with it. If they question it I'll act like a 70 year old computer illiterate fogie and say I tried but it didn't work so I threw my computer out and went back to watching A Country Practice as I thought it was a one night only thing.
Lol this guy last week predicted this would happen
They would have planned say 10,000 and now will have to do 200,000. They are going to need a bigger boat. Door Knock December 2017.They door knock and will give you a paperform to do.
