AU: Hackers leak sensitive Victorian court data to dark web

Personal information of Victorian court users, including names, emails, and job titles from online hearings, appeared on the dark web in July and prompted a police investigation. A user claimed responsibility for the leak on an underground hacking forum.

Why it matters: Court staff, legal professionals, and hearing participants in Victoria face identity theft and targeted phishing risks; practitioners should assume credentials associated with these accounts are compromised and monitor for abuse.
