Evil descends on the NBN? Erm, not quite

Another day, another hacking exploit makes headlines. This time it's a 'self-taught, lone hacker', David Cecil, apparently known online as 'Evil', who allegedly broke into Platform Networks' site, one of 13 service providers for the National Broadband Network (NBN). Cecil, from Cowra in New South Wales, has been charged with 48 counts of unauthorised access to, or modification of, restricted data. He has also been charged with one count of unauthorised modification of data to cause impairment. He is currently being held in custody and will appear in court again this Friday. It's still a little early to understand what exactly 'Evil' is accused of doing to Platform Networks' site but the strategy from the mainstream media has been to equate Platform Networks directly with the NBN. So what's going on?
