AU: Criminal investigation after NSW Health hit by cyber breach

A cyber breach at NSW Health, Australia's state health authority, triggered a criminal investigation and response from Cyber Security NSW. Officials stated that patient data was not compromised and the attack was confined to an isolated server. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Why it matters: Healthcare providers and state health systems should monitor this investigation for attack methods and containment approaches, and review their own isolated server monitoring and breach declaration protocols.
