Posted on March 7, 2022 by Dissent

Anton Nilsson reports:

NSW agencies may have delayed reporting a massive cyber attack to authorities for nearly a month, officials revealed on Monday.

The breach of a software known as Accellion in December 2020 affected businesses and agencies worldwide, including Transport for NSW which had sensitive information stolen and posted on the dark web.
