SSKB recently experienced a cyber incident where a third-party gained unauthorised access to SSKB’s I.T. environment, downloaded some information and posted a ransom-demand on the dark-web (the dark-web is a hidden part of the internet that cannot be searched using mainstream search tools like Google, and requires specialised software to access).

A spokesperson for SSKB told us: “As soon as we became aware of the unauthorised access, we deactivated the systems involved and secured our I.T. environment.

“We have engaged leading external cyber-security and forensic I.T. experts to support us in responding to this incident, including conducting an investigation into what has occurred.

“We have also contacted the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) and will continue to take their advice.

“We are working as swiftly as possible to determine what, if any, personal or sensitive information may be contained in the dataset that was downloaded, however this is currently unknown. Should we identify this is the case, we will work to meet our obligations and notify any individuals at risk as soon as we can.

“In the interim, should any SSKB clients have questions in relation to this incident, they can contact SSKB via cyberresponse@sskb.com.au and we will respond as soon as we can.

“We greatly appreciate the patience and support of our valued clients and partners as we work to resolve this matter as swiftly as possible.”
