NSW citizens’ personal data is at risk after nearly 50 email accounts at the department responsible for driver's licences and other services were hacked.
Service NSW launched an investigation on April 22 after discovering a possible breach and found the email accounts of 47 staff had been illegally accessed, the department said on Thursday.
Service NSW chief executive Damon Rees says internal cybersecurity teams stopped the attack and worked to limit the impact on the department’s customers and services.
