A Russian-linked ransomware gang is behind a major hack that has hit about 200 Australian organisations and breached federal government agencies, exposing the data of thousands of family violence and sexual assault victims, students and passports holders, cybersecurity experts say.
Cyble, a cybersecurity firm that tracks hacking rings and monitors dark web traffic for breaches, said it was assisting multiple companies hit by both hacks – but it was not yet certain if the two were connected. On Saturday, the Department of Home Affairs could not confirm who was responsible for the hacks or which government agencies had been affected, saying it was still investigating.
