ANU data breach stretching back 19 years detected

Updated earlier today at 3:02am

A sophisticated operator accessed the ANU's systems illegally in late 2018 but the breach was only detected two weeks 
ago, the university said in a statement.

Based on student numbers over that time, as well as staff turnover, the university has estimated approximately 200,000 
people were affected by the breach.

"We believe there was unauthorised access to significant amounts of personal staff, student and visitor data extending 
back 19 years," ANU vice-chancellor Brian Schmidt said.
