The Housing Industry Association began telling customers that some personal information that it shared with PwC in 2016 had been taken.
The peak industry body for residential building in Australia has had customer information it shared with PwC Australia stolen by Russian-linked cybercriminals who breached widely used file-sharing software.
“HIA work with PwC, who provide a variety of professional services, including assurance and consulting advice and have historically utilised the MOVEit Transfer software to transfer data related to their engagement,” HIA told customers. Cl0p also accessed data from mining giant Rio Tinto and casino operator Crown Resorts earlier this year via another third-party service called GoAnywhere in what is known as a supply chain hack.
“Unfortunately, data breaches are on the rise globally. We suggest that you continue to monitor your personal information and be aware of suspicious activity.”
