'A diamond heist': ANU hack a sophisticated, targeted operation, report finds | fergushanter
A forensic investigation into the high-profile cyber attack on the Australian National University has found it was an "extremely sophisticated" operation and the exact detail of the data stolen remains unknown.
"This wasn't a smash and grab. It was a diamond heist. It was an extremely sophisticated operation, most likely carried out by a team of between five to 15 people working around the clock," Professor Schmidt said.He said the release of extensive report was an act of "radical transparency" to make sure he was accountable to the people affected and to encourage a stronger and more open culture around cyber security.
"From a cybersecurity perspective, this data would be highly valuable to hackers and could be used for ID fraud or other malicious activities," the university said.
