The University of Sydney disclosed a data breach that exposed personal data on tens of thousands of staff, students and alumni after hackers accessed one of its internal code libraries. The university said it detected the incident last week in an online code repository used by its IT teams and quickly secured the system. While the platform was primarily used for software development, it also contained historical data from a retired system with names, dates of birth, phone numbers, home addresses and job-related details for employees at the university as of September 2018.
