A federal government department has been blasted over its "appalling response" to a security researcher's report which found it has been exposing millions of Australians' personal information by leaving serious security flaws unchecked in a critical government website.

The vulnerabilities were found in the myGov website, which stores the private records of Australians, including their doctor visits, prescription drugs, childcare and welfare payments. The Tax Office is expected to make the site mandatory for electronic tax returns this year.

   If you were to score this [myGov] site out of ten in terms of security it would be like zero or barely half a point.
   Security researcher Nik Cubrilovic

One of the several vulnerabilities found was so severe it allowed the researcher, Nik Cubrilovic, to hijack the account of any registered myGov user.
