International logistics giant DP World has confirmed that data was stolen during a cyber attack that disrupted its operations in Australia earlier this month.
"DP World Australia's investigation has confirmed that the incident was confined to the Australian operations and did not impact any other markets where DP World operates," DP World told BleepingComputer.
"Regrettably, DP World Australia can confirm that some of its files were accessed by the unauthorized third party and a small amount of data was exfiltrated from the DP World Australia network," confirmed the spokesperson to BleepingComputer.
"While the investigation has shown that customer data was not affected, some of the impacted data includes the personal information of current and previous employees of DP World Australia."
The Australian Cyber Security Coordinator, the Australian Cyber Security Center, the Australian Federal Police, the Department of Home Affairs, and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner have all been informed of the situation and are working closely with DP World to lessen the impact for those who had their data stolen.
