A list of employee names, work phone numbers and job titles available to government employees through the Victorian Government directory was reportedly accessed by an unauthorized third party. According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), information on approximately 30,000 Victorian public servants was stolen in a data breach, after an unknown party downloaded a portion of the directory.
Employees that might have been impacted were notified via an email message which explained: "Because of this incident you may experience increased phishing, spam and social engineering attempts via your work email address and telephone numbers. As always, you should be aware of these risks and remain vigilant when it comes to unsolicited communications via email and telephone," ABC reported.
