SA Liberals In Information Breach

The South Australian Liberal Party has been hit by a data breach with someone gaining unauthorised access to a number of its membership lists.
The party said the material contained the addresses and phone numbers of about 2000 members but no financial details were accessed.
It said affected members had been informed directly and expert advice had indicated the information was unlikely to create a risk of serious harm to individuals.
"As a party, we take these matters seriously and have reported the matter to the relevant authorities, including police," the Liberals said in a statement on Friday.
Police said the breach was first reported on October 25.
They said detectives had begun an investigation into deception offences.
The incident follows major www.cruisewhat.com data breaches involving telecommunications company Optus and health insurer Medibank.
