Credit licences accessed with Accellion identified as the weak point.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has said one of its servers was breached on January 15. „This incident is related to Accellion software used by ASIC to transfer files and attachments,“ the corporate regulator said in a notice posted on the evening before a public holiday. „It involved unauthorised access to a server which contained documents associated with recent Australian credit licence applications.“ ASIC said while some „limited information“ has been viewed, it did not see evidence that any application forms were downloaded or opened. The regulator said access to the server has been disabled and it was working on other arrangements. „No other ASIC technology infrastructure has been impacted or breached,“ it added.
