Swinburne responds to data breach
Last month, Swinburne was advised that some information, such as names, email addresses and phone numbers, of around 5,200 Swinburne staff, 100 Swinburne students and some externals had been inadvertently made available on the internet. This data was event registration information from multiple events from 2013 onwards.
We took immediate action to investigate and respond to this data breach, including removing the information and conducting an audit across other similar sites.
Our investigation showed that the source of the data was an event registration webpage that is no longer available. The information made available was name, email address and, in some cases, a contact phone number.
