What if you had an employee’s data accidentally exposed? How do you prevent accidental employee data breach?
A third-party contractor has exposed the personal information of around 50,000 Australian employees online.
A Polish security researcher was looking for open Amazon S3 buckets when he found this information that was out in the open. The information belongs to employees of Australian government agencies, banks, and utilities.
Some of the companies involved in and affected by this incident are working with the Australian Cyber Security Center (ACSC) to implement an effective response and provide support.
This incident appears to be the second-largest data breach in Australia’s history. This is after a partner of Red Cross Blood accidentally published 550,000 Australian blood donors’ information online.
The risk of employees’ data being exposed online can happen without them even realising it. That’s why protecting your personal information from data breaches is crucial to preventing identity theft and other forms of fraud.
