A major cyber breach has been declared at NSW Health, but officials say patient data has not been affected.
A spokesperson for Cyber Security NSW says investigations are under way.
“Cyber Security NSW is responding to a cyber breach impacting an isolated server within NSW Health.
“The breach has been declared a major incident and is being investigated by the NSW Police Cyber Crime Squad.
“No patient data has been impacted at this time nor is any patient data currently at risk from this limited cyber breach.
“As this is a criminal investigation, no further is available.”
NSW Police said its State Crime Command’s Cybercrime Squad were alerted to an alleged data breach at NSW Health 1pm last Friday.
“Detectives have commenced an investigation under Strike Force Civic and are working closely with NSW Health and Cyber Security NSW,” a police statement said.
“Investigations are ongoing.”
