Off Topic topics, page-212

with respect to all that post here I'm sorry if it's too off topic to the normal banter but I have a question
in light of the security breach Optus is dealing with
would the type of service KYC that ISX/SP1 are trying to develop or distribute have been beneficial to the affected service provider Optus and saved their customer's privacy? has this saga highlighted the need for this type of service or does this just move the target to be hacked to a bigger entity being the provider of the KYC information?
not wanting to incite negativity
just a genuine question
cheers
