WENDY Wu Tours (WWT) Australia has confirmed it is aware of a cyber breach that took place last week, an incident the notorious Hacker group KillSec has claimed responsibility for.
The operator told TD the attack that reportedly involved passport numbers affected a “limited part” of its systems, and it is now urgently investigating the impact.
“We were able to detect the incident quickly and took steps to secure our system, which meant there was no interruption to our business operations,” a spokesperson for WWT said.
“We have engaged leading specialists to investigate what has occurred…but we will inform any individuals who may need to be notified once we have any relevant and accurate information to share, in line with our obligations,” the company added.
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner has also been notified by WWT.
