> But chief executive of NBN Co, Michael Quigley, told The World Today that any report stating the National Broadband Network's security had been compromised is false.
> 
> "I want to be very clear if I can with your listeners - the NBN was not hacked, it has not been compromised, it has not been placed at risk and our security hasn't been breached," he said.
> 
> Mr Quigley also lashed out at media outlets over their coverage of the arrest.
> 
> "I'd like to respond to what is a bunch of provocative headlines that I've seen over the last 24 hours," she said.

....

> "I understand also that Mr Turnbull said yesterday on your program that this man, the hacker, has effectively been able to map much, if not most of the NBN's existing infrastructure," he said.
> 
> "That statement is factually incorrect. Our network was not mapped. There's no evidence at all our security was compromised in any way by this individual. And yes, of course, Mr Turnbull is right that all of us in today's world need to take security very, very seriously."


....

> "Our job is to build a network and our job is to make sure that that network is secured. Our job isn't to solve the security issue for Australia."
