Information on potential data breach at PageUp may affect Australia Post

Posted on June 5, 2018 by Dissent

June 5 –

Australia Post is managing an issue following advice from PageUp, a third party supplier that has helped us process external job applications since October 2016, that they’ve experienced a system breach.

We are among a number of large organisations who have been using PageUp. PageUp has provided more information here: https://www.pageuppeople.com/unauthorised-activity-on-it-system/

At this stage, PageUp is yet to determine if any personal information of applicants for Australia Post roles has been compromised. However, this update is based on the information we have available.
