Australian Mining & Cyberbreaches
Embarrassing
New figures obtained under Freedom of Information laws show 187 data breaches across Australia's mining and manufacturing sectors have exposed the personal information of up to 3.6 million people since 2018.
The data is de-identified, meaning it is not possible to know which companies reported those breaches.
