Leak of NDIS data involves ‘extremely volatile information’. By Denham Sadler, InnovationAus
In June 2022, I was interviewed several times for commentary on the CTARS data breach of NDIS Participant data.
In this interview, I describe the extreme sensitivity of this data:
‘The breach has created an “extreme level of risk” in terms of identity theft and fraudulent claims by providers and imposters using the leaked data…
‘Data breaches create serious risk of harm – for people who are already suffering from these defective systems,’ Ms Johnson told InnovationAus.com.
‘This is like having the My Health Record on the dark web. The individual has very little power – and people’s identity would be compromised. There is no way that this can’t be the case. And people won’t know that it has happened. These are the most vulnerable at-risk people.’
