A cyberattack on Victoria’s government schools exposed student data, prompting system shutdowns and password resets.
A cyber breach at Victoria’s government schools has exposed student names, email addresses, school names, year levels, and encrypted passwords, affecting current and former students across Melbourne’s north, west, and south-east.
The attack exploited a school network, prompting temporary system shutdowns and password resets that locked secondary and VCE students out of accounts, with new credentials to be issued at the start of Term 1.
No birth dates, phone numbers, or home addresses were accessed, and authorities found no evidence the data was released or shared.
The Department of Education is working with cybersecurity experts and government agencies to contain the incident and has provided templates for schools to notify parents.
Opposition Leader Jess Wilson called for greater transparency on the breach’s scope and cause.
