Personal information exposed by Australian Human Rights Commission data breach

Posted on May 14, 2025 by Dissent

David Hollingworth reports:

The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has revealed that more than 600 submissions and nominations to the commission’s website were accidentally exposed online between April and May 2025.

The AHRC became aware of the breach on 10 April, when it discovered that attachments uploaded to its complaint web form between 24 March and 10 April had been publicly available – and accessed – between 3 April and 10 April.

Then, on 8 May, the AHRC discovered more exposed documents, this time attachments submitted to web forms used for feedback on its Speaking from Experience Project, Human Rights Awards 2023 nominations, and the National Anti-Racism Framework concept paper. These documents were exposed between 3 April and 5 May.
