DAVID SWANA DAY AGO | 3.15PMSpotless hit by cyber attackCleaning services outfit Spotless has been hit by a cyber attack, with the company forced to shut down much of its IT services.
A spokesman for Downer Group, which completed a hostile takeover Spotless last week, confirmed the incident in a statement to The Australian.
Spotless’ website remains online. The company has been assisting the Victorian government with its COVID-19 hotel quarantine program.
“We confirm we are investigating suspicious activity involving unauthorised access to a number of Spotless servers,” the spokesman said.
“We have engaged experts and believe it is linked to ransomware.
“We have restricted access to a number of Spotless servers and have notified the Australian Cyber Security Centre and NZ National Cyber Security Centre.
The spokesman said the company had “enacted business continuity plans that allow us to continue the delivery of our services.”
“At this stage, we have no evidence that any data has been impacted.”
Spotless joins a list of high-profile Australian companies to be hit by cyber attacks this year, with Toll and Lion Group the highest profile examples.
In 2017 Australia passed mandatory breach disclosure laws, forcing companies to report any malicious breaches of user data to the Australian Information Commissioner.
