Sensitive business addresses among 500,000 published in COVID data breach
The addresses of more than 500,000 organisations including defence sites, a missile maintenance unit and domestic violence shelters were inadvertently made public in the first major breach of the NSW government’s massive trove of QR code data.
Premier Dominic Perrottet said the information was uploaded in error and the bungle, which has alarmed privacy advocates and women’s safety advocates, “shouldn’t have happened”.
Cybersecurity experts have long warned the huge amount of data being collected by governments through QR code systems was vulnerable to security breaches, data **** and hacking.
