Furthermore, although it's true that IBM didn't purchase DDOS protection, neither did the government pay them to purchase it. IBM is incompetent but in this particular case I can't blame them for attempting to make a meager profit out of the pittance the Australian government chose to spend on their first act of digital governance.
