Re last post about the BOM website: There’s something wrong with the internet when it costs $12.6mil AU to security test a website that has zero need to store any user data. #BOM

“The Bureau of Meteorology revealed its new website cost $96.5 million, not $4.1 million as the agency had originally said.” “It said the cost breakdown included $4.1 million for the redesign, $79.8 million for the website build, and the site's launch and security testing cost $12.6 million.” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-23/bureau-of-meteorology-new-website-cost-blowout-to-96-million/106042202 #BOM
