Casey data theft By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council has been caught up in a major data breach that has compromised personal information of its job applicants. On 8 June, Casey announced its online recruitment service provider PageUp People warned of a "possible serious security data breach" occurring in mid-late May. The council was informed of the breach on 4 June. It has since removed access to the recruitment service. Casey recently emailed its recent job applicants warning that a "breach of your privacy may have occurred".

"The breach in question relates to information you have provided through Council's online recruitment module managed by a third party vendor containing your personal details," people and culture manager Fran Boyd wrote. "I apologise if this incident has caused you any stress and Council deeply regrets that this incident has occurred." In a public statement, Casey acting chief executive Steve Dalton alluded to the delayed notice given by PageUp. "The City of Casey is meeting with the provider to determine the impact on applicants and to seek explanations as to why it took more than a week to inform Council of the breach.

"Council has urged those affected to be vigilant about any unusual activity relating to their personal information." The data breach is believed to have affected numerous banks, universities, state government agencies and major companies in Australia. In a statement on 12 June, PageUp said "unauthorised person(s)" had accessed its system. It believed "on the balance of probabilities" that the personal data of its clients, placement agencies, applicants, references and its employees had been accessed. This could include names, street addresses, email addresses and phone numbers, as well as employee usernames and passwords, PageUp stated.
