The University of Western Sydney has issued an updated advisory regarding the ongoing impact of a cyber attack first reported in October 2024. Vice-Chancellor and President, Distinguished Professor George Williams AO, expressed deep regret over the toll these relentless attacks have taken on the university community. He acknowledged the recent charges laid by the NSW Police against a former student in connection with cyber offences, noting that the university is cooperating with ongoing investigations. The university’s leadership reiterated their commitment to enhancing the digital environment and urged the community to remain vigilant against suspicious activities.
In addition to addressing the community, the university confirmed the nature of the data compromised during the incident, which had been shared on various clear and dark web hacking forums. Although a court injunction successfully removed the data from a clear web forum, the university faced challenges in serving the injunction on dark web sites. The university continues to strengthen its cybersecurity measures and encourages its community to take proactive steps in safeguarding their information.
