00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: the thirteenth, h Friday, the thirteenth of August. I'm joined

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: today by Mariah Lattice. Mariah, you're down in Adelaide. You

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: get PISA now. That is our good news story. We're

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: going to come to later, but first, can you run

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: us through the cases here in New South Wales.

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: New South Wales recorded three hundred and fifty six locally

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: acquired COVID nineteen cases yesterday, with fifty seven of those

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: cases infectious in the community. The isolation status of one

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight cases remain under investigation. Victoria recorded

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: twenty one locally acquired COVID nineteen cases yesterday. Seventeen of

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 2: those cases were linked to a known cluster and six

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: were infectious in the community.

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: At the New South Wales press conference yesterday, New South

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Wales Chief psychiatrist Murray Wright made an appearance to talk

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: about the ongoing toll on mental health that comes with

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: a long lockdown. Here's a little bit of what he

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: had to say.

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: It's really important for me to take this opportunity to

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: remind every that this is probably the most sustained and

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: serious stress that many of us are going to face

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: in our lifetimes, and how this impacts on us and

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: how we manage it is going to be really important

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: in minimizing the sort of the well being and mental

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: health impacts of the stress.

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: Here's a headline we haven't read in over a year,

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: the act Enter the SNAP seven day lockdown from five

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: pm yesterday. This all came about after a positive case

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: was found to be infectious in the community and positive

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: wastewater detections were also confirmed. We often talk about positive

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: wastewater detections and that actually means that it's in more

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: people's homes than we think, so there's a bit of

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: concern there can bearns will be able to leave the

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: house for essential reasons only, including essential employment, healthcare that

35
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: includes vaccination, groceries and supplies, and one hour of outdoor exercise.

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: The source of the infection patient zero has not been confirmed,

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: but another three cases were reported late yesterday.

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,919
Speaker 2: Regional author is in Sicily, Italy recorded temperatures of thirty

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: eight point eight degrees celsius on Wednesday, which will be

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: the hottest temperature recorded in Europe if the results are verified.

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: Fires have burnt through southern Italy on Wednesday, burning thousands

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: of acres of land and killing a man in his home.

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: For your Friday good news, this is directed totally at

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: South Australia. Yesterday, the South Australian government announced it would

45
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: begin offering the fires of COVID nineteen vaccination to anyone

46
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: aged over sixteen from Monday next week. The government will

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: increase bookings by almost one hundred and thirty thousand to

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: accommodate for increased demand in state run clinics.

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: Mariah, are you pumped very excited to have my arm

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: also pumped with Fizer? And I know I'll be getting

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 2: up bright and early to secure an appointment.

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: Based on the sentiment of your friends in Adelaide, was

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: this received as well as it was on our Instagram

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: page yesterday?

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: It definitely was, and I was getting a few messages

56
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: with people eagerly wanting to book appointments, So yeah, it's

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: definitely been received very well over here.

58
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: In Essay, one of the major attractions to holding cryptocurrency

59
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: is that it is unstealable. It is so secure that

60
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: only you will know where it is and only you

61
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: will ever have possession. That was how the world thought

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: about crypto up until this week. This week, hackers stole

63
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: six hundred million dollars worth of cryptocurrency from the decentralized

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: finance platform poly network. It's being called the largest theft

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: in the industry's history. Now, these attackers stole funds in

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: more than twelve different cryptocurrencies, and the theft affected tens

67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: of thousands of people. Mariah, starting from the beginning here,

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: what exactly is poly network.

69
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: Poly Network is a platform that facilitates peer to peer transactions.

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: So it wasn't necessarily the cryptocurrencies that got hacked, but

71
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: rather this finance platform. So the platform it focuses on

72
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: allowing users to transfer or swap tokens across the different blockchains. So,

73
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: for example, if someone was to hold Bitcoin and they

74
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: wanted to transfer their tokens from Bitcoin and transfer it

75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: to Ethereum, they were able to do that over this

76
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: platform called poly network. A customer would be able to

77
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: conduct that transfer through poly network.

78
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: Do we have any information on how the hack actually happened.

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: We do have a little bit of information, but we

80
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: don't have too much just yet. Poly network tweeted on Tuesday,

81
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: US Time that a preliminary investigation found the hackers had

82
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: exploited a vulnerability in a smart contract on the platform.

83
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: So to break that down for everyone, it sounds like

84
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: that they have exposed a bug in the way that

85
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: people actually agree to swap tokens and they've snuck their

86
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: way into steal a hefty amount of money. Now, interestingly,

87
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: the hackers have actually returned nearly half of the six

88
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: hundred million they stole. They returned two hundred and sixty million,

89
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: so we're still looking for three hundred and fifty three million,

90
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: and it's unclear where the remaining assets have gone. Do

91
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: we know why they returned half the money?

92
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: Because they dubbed themselves or someone that was suggesting that

93
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: they were a hacker or one of the hackers as

94
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: something called a white hat hacker, and they're supposed to

95
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: be what is known as like an ethical hacker, so

96
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 2: they're purposely trying to find bugs in order to find

97
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: these vulnerabilities so that they don't happen again. Companies like

98
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: Apple actually pay people, sometimes up to millions to do

99
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: this job to be a white hack hacker. This is

100
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: what the hacker who was supposedly part of this is

101
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: suggesting that they were. Hence the reason why they returned

102
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: half the funds, although we're not sure where this outstanding

103
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty three million has gone.

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: It's a really hefty amount of money to not know

105
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: where it is, and I'm sure it's something we're going

106
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: to be learning more and more about as holding cryptocurrency

107
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: becomes more normalized. I know a lot of my friends

108
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: have crypto currents see and there's a vast proportion of Australian,

109
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: especially young Australians, who hold crypto, and it's really unregulated.

110
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: If this kind of thing happened to our bank accounts,

111
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: there would be a whole number of safeguards and processes

112
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: that are there. In fact, if you hold your money

113
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: in a major Australian bank, the government actually secures your

114
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: money so they'll pay you back if the money disappears.

115
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: That's not the case with crypto. It's really interesting and

116
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: we'll be watching this space closely. That is all we

117
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: have time for for this week on the Daily OS.

118
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: We hope you've had a safe week. There is a

119
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: lot of bad news around. Take some time this weekend

120
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: to look after your mental health, whether that means getting

121
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: outdoors or even switching off your phone for a little bit,

122
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: we're still going to be there when you switch it

123
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: back on, look after yourself and have a beautiful weekend.
