Security News > 2024 > January > Victoria court recordings exposed in reported ransomware attack
Australia's Court Services Victoria is warning that video recordings of court hearings were exposed after suffering a reported Qilin ransomware attack.
Supreme Court - hearings from the Court of Appeal, Criminal Division, and Practice Court between December 1 and 21, and two regional hearings in November 2023.
County Court - hearings from all criminal and civil courts from November 1 to December 21, 2023.
Coroners Court - all hearings that took place between November 1 and December 21, 2023.
The above recordings contain a mix of public and confidential information, so depending on the case, they may expose sensitive information regarding court cases.
Though CSV is still in the process of restructuring the impacted system with more focus on security, court operations in Victoria will not be affected, and all cases scheduled for January 2024 are expected to proceed normally.
