Technology correspondent Paul Matthews looks at the cyber attacks that have hit Auckland Transport, causing chaos for commuters.

What's happening and what is the organisation doing to stop it? 

The Australian Government is proposing a big boost to their Digital ID service MyGovID, turning it into a form of digital ID and opening it up for adoption by the private sector.
