> The airline is expected to bolster its cybersecurity expertise when it names a replacement for outgoing director Todd Sampson, who is set to leave the company at the end of this month.

An article was published today on this very topic: http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/to-catch... which refers to a report done by Melb Uni. Not sure how they came up with the data though.

If you're just doing freelance work, I find direct deposit works best. Many clients don't use credit card for large amounts because of fees, which you'll also incur for most online payment systems
