The University of Sydney has recently disclosed that its online code repository has been compromised, resulting in the exposure of personal information of over 27,000 staff, students, and alumni. The breach was detected last week, and access to the repository was immediately blocked. An investigation revealed that the compromised data includes names, dates of birth, and contact details. Approximately 22,500 current and former employees and 5,000 students are affected by the breach. The university has notified the relevant authorities and initiated a notification process for the affected individuals. At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that the data has been misused. This incident is not the first of its kind for the university, as a similar event occurred in September 2023 due to a third-party vulnerability. The university is taking necessary steps to prevent such incidents in the future and ensure the security of its online systems.
