A law firm, used by the Victorian Government, has confirmed documents stolen in a data breach in April have been leaked onto the dark web. Data about government departments and agencies was leaked when HWL Ebsworth was targeted by threat actor 'ALPHV/BlackCat'. An HWL Ebsworth update on their website, published on Friday, said they became aware of the threat actor on April 28 in a post on a dark web forum claiming to have 'exfiltrated data' from the firm. The attack, by ALPHV/BlackCat, resulted in Victorian government documents published on the dark web.
