Good Morning Australia!! - Commonwealth loses millions of account records - The controversial data firm that help elect Trump says it's quitting - A broken plane window means more scary moments in US skies - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Commonwealth Bank says even though it lost the historic financial data on 20 million accounts, customers' security information has not been compromised.  The data was stored on two large magnetic tapes, which the auditing firm KPMG believes were misplaced by Commonwealth subcontractor Fuji-Xerox sometime last year - probably disposed of.  No PIN numbers or passwords were lost into the ether: "I want to assure our customers that we have taken the steps necessary to protect their information and we apologise for any concern this incident may cause," said Commonwealth Bank's Angus Sullivan in a statement.

Cambridge Analytica and its parent company are shutting down after months of criticism for its micro-targeting of voters for the orange clown Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election.  "The company is immediately ceasing all operations," it said in a statement.  On Wednesday, Cambridge Analytica whinged it had been "the subject of numerous unfounded accusations" and "vilified for activities that are not only legal, but also widely accepted" in online advertising.  Those legal and accepted activities included gleaning personal data from more than 80 million Facebook users, which forced the social network to change its privacy policies and tell each user if they had been compromised.  Oh, but did it give back the data?  No?

It looks like the orange clown is emulating his favorite movie mobsters and "going to the mattresses":  White House lawyer Ty Cobb is taking his handlebar mustache out of the White House after reportedly clashing with Trump over repeatedly tweeting incriminating information.  The White House claimed Mr. Cobb had signaled his retirement a month ago, because lawyers always retire just before career-defining cases.  Yep, happens all the time.  Cobb, like many others who walked out the White House door over the past 16 months, had advised the clown not to fire Robert Mueller, who is heading the Justice Department's investigation into Russian influence over Trump's presidential campaign.  Replacing Cobb is Emmet Flood, famous for representing Bill Clinton during his impeachment trial in the 1990s.  You will recall that Clinton beat the rap. 

Conservative lawmakers in the heartland US state of Iowa passed the country's most-restrictive assault on women's reproductive rights.  It bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat is able to be detected, around six weeks into pregnancy - a point that many women don't know that they're pregnant.  That amounts to a de facto abortion ban, assuming Governor Kim Reynolds signs it into law.  And she may not want to, not just because it assaults women's rights, but it may be a colossal waste of money:  The same Federal Court that oversees Iowa ruled a similar bill in North Dakota was unconstitutional in 2014. 

Also around America:  A Southwest Airlines flight from Chicago to New Jersey put down early in Cleveland after passengers alerted the flight crew about a crack in a port side window.  No emergency was declared, no one was hurt, but it happened days after a woman was killed from being partially sucked out of another Southwest flight through a window shattered by flying debris.
ScaryA US military WC-130 "Hercules" cargo plane from the Puerto Rico National Guard crashed near Savannah Hilton Head International Airport in Georgia, killing five people.  This sort of plane is used for weather reconnaissance.
WC-130 Plane Crash in Georgia, USThe two black men who were infamously arrested for waiting for a friend at Starbucks have settled with the city of Philadelphia for One Dollar each, and a promise that the city would fund a $200,000 black youth education initiative.  The ugly, racist episode was denounced by Starbucks itself, and the manager was sacked.  Cops seemed to get away with it, though.
They weren't in it for the money. Period.
