This is to advise that ACU has been the target of a cyber attack. A data breach was discovered on 22 May 2019 and a number of staff email accounts and some University systems have been compromised. The University deeply regrets that this data breach has occurred.
The data breach originated from a phishing attack: an email pretending to be from ACU tricking users into clicking on a link or opening an attachment and then entering credentials into a fake ACU login page.
In a very small number of cases, staff login credentials were obtained successfully via the phishing email and were used to access the email accounts, calendars and bank account details of affected staff members.
What we have done so far:
All University staff and students should follow these instructions:
It is important to remember that ACU credentials give access to a number of University systems, so it is vital to keep login credentials secure.
ACU’s top priority is to protect the data and information of our staff and students. We take very seriously our responsibilities to manage the security of data and the security of our IT systems.
We also recognise the importance of cyber security awareness for students and staff and are reviewing ACU’s cyber security awareness programs.
If you have any concerns or questions, please refer to the following resources and support services:
Any media enquiries should be referred to Liz Drew, 0419 506 690, liz.drew@acu.edu.au
