Elaborate? What do you mean "hacked"?
As in, data breach hacked.
We believe there was unauthorised access to significant amounts of personal staff, student and visitor data extending back 19 years.
Depending on the information you have provided to the University, this may include names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, personal email addresses and emergency contact details, tax file numbers, payroll information, bank account details, and passport details. Student academic records were also accessed.
Apparently they got hacked earlier last year as well, and supposedly upgraded their security, which is supposedly the only reason they detected it this time (...months after the fact). But ya know, why bother upgrading their security enough to prevent hacking I guess??
And now they're basically just telling us to change our passwords and move on
Nevermind that identity theft would be ridiculously easy with the stolen information.
Heaps of people on shmidtposting are blaming china lol
Edit: Apparently this is important news - got a messenger notification about it from the ABC lol.
