Defence Housing Australia has launched an investigation to determine if it, or the data of Australian Defence personnel, has been exposed in a cyber attack on a third-party service provider.
The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) also notified of the same incident, though said none of its systems had been impacted.
The government business enterprise (GBE) said it is collaborating with the Defence on the investigation, which sought to establish – among other things – “if any Defence personnel or families’ information has been compromised.”
In a breach notification on their website, they reported: “Defence Housing Australia has launched an investigation to determine if it, or the data of Australian Defence personnel, has been exposed in a cyber attack on a third-party service provider.”
