On 23 December 2004 OFTA wrote a letter to Yui Kee stating, in part, "On the issue of information security, please note that it is outside the ambit of this Office. You are advised to contact the organisations named in Attachment 2 as appropriate for enquiries." Attachment 2 was a printout of the webpage: http://www.infosec.gov.hk/english/general/pubsrv.htm. The slogan for the website, displayed on every page, is, "Information Security is Everyone's Business".
The website is produced and managed by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer of Hong Kong, and OFTA is a Hong Kong Government department responsible for regulating the telecommunications sector. For some reason, parts of Hong Kong Government consider information security to be "Everybody's Business", but another department considers it outside its ambit.
We asked OFTA to clarify the matter, "is OFTA rejecting the slogan ("Information Security is Everyone's Business") of the very same website it kindly printed the page from?" They have not responded at the time of writing.
