Major Australia-based real estate firm Harcourts has allegedly suffered a cyber incident after threat actors listed the company on their dark web leak site.
"As soon as we became aware of this claim, we took immediate steps to engage specialist cyber security experts to commence an urgent investigation. We have also introduced containment measures to reduce risk and strengthen the security of our environment while we continue our investigation."
"At this stage of our investigation, we do not have evidence of impact to our systems, but our investigation is in its early stages."
"We are liaising with our network offices and will continue to update our staff, clients and key partners if we identify any relevant and accurate evidence of impact to personal information."
"We also have ongoing monitoring in place, with the support of our cyber security experts."
"It is important to note that these claims made by the external party are not accessible via standard internet searches and require specialist software and tools to locate."
"We will update the relevant authorities as appropriate, in line with our obligations."
