A data breach at one of Australia’s largest universities means 47,000 students’ data now resides in the hands of an unknown threat actor. Officials at Deakin University in Victoria say they traced the incident’s origin to the hacked account of a staff member.

The university says it stopped the attack from reaching a wider number of students.”]
