Security News > 2021 > February > Australian Health and Transport Agencies Hit by Accellion Hack
Transport for NSW, which is the main transport and roads agency in New South Wales, Australia, and NSW Health, the state's ministry of health, are the latest confirmed victims of a cyber-attack targeting Accellion's FTA file transfer service.
Transport for NSW says that some information was stolen before the attack on Accellion servers was interrupted and that an investigation is ongoing, but did not provide further details on the matter.
In a statement related to the incident, Cyber Security NSW says that it is working with the NSW government to investigate the incident and assess the volume and value of data.
In December, Accellion served roughly 300 FTA customers, fewer than 100 of which were affected.
Transport for NSW and NSW Health are the latest organizations to have publicly confirmed the impact of the incident, after the U.S.-based grocery and pharmacy chain Kroger and law firm Jones Day made similar announcements over the past several days.
With the looming end-of-life for FTA, Accellion continues to encourage customers to migrate to the enterprise content firewall platform kiteworks, promising free assistance during the transition.
