Approximately 55 traffic cameras in Victoria have been infected with the WannaCry ransomware, according to the Victorian department of justice.

Intersection and highway cameras across the state have been affected by the malware, which caused chaos around the world by attacking the British National Health Service and other organisations in May.

A department spokesman said all 55 cameras had been �operating correctly and accurately� while infected, but that the issue had been referred to the road safety camera commissioner.

If the commission finds motorists have been incorrectly fined as a result of the infection, the department said it would withdraw the affected fines.

In a statement, the department said a system patch had been applied to prevent the spread of the virus, and affected cameras would be fixed �in the next couple of days�.

But Melbourne radio station 3AW said the infection had been discovered earlier this month, but had only been referred to the commissioner once the station reported the story on Thursday.

When attached to a computer, ransomware encrypts local files and demands hundreds of dollars from users to return access. In May, WannaCry disrupted American multinational FedEx; Telef�nica, Spain�s largest telecommunications company; and the NHS, cancelling operations and blocking access to patient records and phones.

The department of justice said Victoria�s infection was not the result of a targeted attack, but was caused by a contractor mistakenly connecting infected hardware to cameras.

The company that supplies Victoria�s traffic cameras, Redflex, has been contacted for comment.

In March, Redflex renewed its contract to supply cameras to New South Wales Roads & Maritime Services, and in October last year won a contract to expand the state�s in-vehicle speed camera program with forty new cameras.

The road safety camera commissioner has been contacted for comment.

Milky Moor posted:

So, here are my TRANSFORMERS 5 thoughts.

This film is somehow both the most generic of the Transformers films and the most bizarre. I do not think it bodes well for the "cinematic universe" Hasbro wants to create and I feel like this film is flawed because of Hasbro trying to set up a wider cinematic universe. For what it's worth my partner, who hated the previous films and almost refused to see this one, thinks this one was great. As she puts it, this is Bay with the edges filed down to a safe, pleasant line.

The robot-on-robot combat is bizarrely perfunctory. I'm not sure there are any robot-on-robot fights that last more than thirty seconds. For a lot of them, it is almost everything you've seen in the trailers. To me, this is a massive disappointment. It feels like they had to cut down every single scene in this film to get the run time to what it is, and the robot fights were basically cut down to "fight starts, fight ending money shot". There is nothing in it like the forest fight in TF2, Prime carving up Shockwave in TF3 or Prime fighting Lockdown in TF4. What makes this more obvious is that Drift and Crosshairs vanish from the last twenty minutes of the film. One of the spoilers I read earlier was that they were killed by Megatron. Otherwise, not a single Autobot dies or really suffers. Comparing this to the previous films is strange.

And yet this is also the film that by far spends the most time on the robots. The new Decepticons get this strangely in-depth intro sequence -- but half of them are killed in maybe thirty seconds in single shots in their first fight and the other half do nothing of consequence and Barricade, again, vanishes from the film during the halfway point. That last point, however, might be intentional.

The action is strange, too. There's nothing in it like the highway chase scene in TF3 where the kinetic motion and the pounding soundtrack just takes you in and obliterates your senses. Everything feels safe and generic.

The film obviously suffers from being three scripts combined. It sashays between Michael Bay Presents: Monty Python's Holy Grail, Michael Bay Presents: The Da Vinci Code, Michael Bay Presents: Transformers In Time, and Michael Bay Presents: Transformers 5. There is obviously so much stuff cut out. Every single scene feels like it was cut down to the bone, and a lot of the cool stuff got nicked in the process. That's not to say there aren't nice things in the film. Anthony Hopkins just steals the show despite him just delivering So Much Exposition. Wahlberg is fun. Cogman is a neat character. The film delivers on total insanity with the whole thing with Earth and Cybertron and Unicron and all of that. If anyone had expected how the film was going to end, and some of the events that took place, well, congratulations on writing the script. In that sense, it is decidedly like the previous films: the events cannot be walked backwards, the status quo is forever changed.

And yet it is so unlike the previous films.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but... Michael Bay has let me down. If this is the sort of thing he'd be making going forward, I'm not surprised he's apparently serious about this being the last. This is Michael Bay who has been asked to tone it down and it feels like it. This is Michael Bay being told to make it more like Marvel.

I can live with a lot of things in a Transformers film. All I really want is a great Jablonsky soundtrack while Bay blows my senses away with fighting robots. I didn't really get that. I cannot get over how short and perfunctory the robot-on-robot scenes were. The showdown with Prime and Megatron is literally Megatron pins Prime down, Prime cuts off his arm and kicks him away in the space of maybe twenty seconds.

TF2 was a glorious trainwreck. TF5 just... exists.

Yeah. "That submarine is a Transformer!" says someone.

It never transforms. It never speaks or is given a name. It is never mentioned again. The Bay films aren't usually this sloppy.

Goddamn, the movie even has a Marvel-esque 'You better come to the next movie to find out what this means!' mid-credits scene.

I'm an addict who wanted the good poo poo and I've had it cut with flour. It's so clean and safe! gently caress.

At present we're in this sort of weird equilibrium position where the RBA can't raise interest rates because the economy and wages are underperforming but it can't raise rates (by say .5%) because the housing market will tank.

While this dynamic is in place cheap credit will keep house prices high, but at some point external factors will tank the markets while the RBA sits on its hands. Unfortunately the inevitable shock event could be a while away.
