Another Australian company has been targeted by cybercriminals in a brazen data breach which has seen the personal details of several thousand workers at avocado and berry grower Costa Group.
Costa Group grows berries and avocados across Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania and Western Australia.
The business said in a statement there was a “risk that personal sensitive information of workers on Costa’s Australian berry farms may have been accessed, including passport, bank account and superannuation details, as well as tax file numbers.”
Costa Group says it has limited access to its servers and notified the Australian Cyber Security Centre of the attack.
“To minimise impact to individuals from the attack, we have been and continue to conduct continuous monitoring of the dark web to detect if any information from the server has been posted,” the company says.
“We can confirm to date, that we have not identified the publication of any such information.
“We will seek to notify you promptly if our monitoring processes detect this information via a further website posting on the Costa Group website.”
Have you or anyone you know ever worked for the Costa Group?
