A cyberattack has rocked the Victorian judicial system, with hackers infiltrating the state’s court recording database and potentially exposing sensitive audio and video footage of legal proceedings.
“Recordings of some court hearings between Nov. 1 and Dec. 21, 2023 may have been stolen, Court Services Victoria CEO Louise Anderson said in a statement. Some hearings before Nov. 1 may also have been affected, she said.
The potential access is confined to recordings stored on the network. No other court systems or records, including employee or financial data, were accessed,” Anderson said.”
