Tasmanian Gov't | Mar 23 Hack
The Tasmanian government has admitted approximately 16,000 documents have been released online as part of an unfolding data breach, impacting invoices, names, addresses and bank statements of Tasmanian parents and students.
The data leak stems from a cyber attack on GoAnywhere MFT, a third-party file transfer service used by the Tasmanian Department of Education, Children and Young People.
After initially stating there was no confirmation of the department's information being stolen, Technology Minister Madeleine Ogilvie later confirmed on Good Friday that a range of sensitive financial data was accessed and released online.
The compromised documents reportedly include invoices, bank statements, information relating to student assistance applications, and the names and addresses of people connected to the department.
