Dowladda ACT oo joojisay Bookeasy ka dib khiyaano khadka internetka ah
Boqolaal isticmaale ayaa la wargeliyay fariimo laga yaabo inay khiyaano yihiin
Dowladda ACT waxay si ku meel gaar ah u joojisay Bookeasy, oo ah madal dadka saddexaad oo laga isticmaalo ballamaha iyo ogolaanshaha Nidaamka Ballamaha Xadiiqadaha Qaranka, ka dib markii ay soo sheegtay dhacdo ammaan oo khadka internetka ah iyo suurtagalnimada in macluumaad la sii daayay.
Bookeasy oo sheegtay in ay qaaday tallaabooyin degdeg ah
Bookeasy waxay sheegtay in, ka dib digniin ammaan, ay awoodday in ay qaaddo tallaabooyin degdeg ah oo xakameyn ah, oo ay ku jiraan in ay u yeertay khubaro cyber si ay uga caawiyaan baaritaanka oo ay u bixiyaan talo. Shirkaddu waxay sheegtay in aanay weli aqoonsan wax kharriban oo ku yimid faahfaahinta lacagta, isla markaana aanay ogaan wax gelitaan ah oo lagu sameeyay faahfaahinta kaadhka deynta.
Dowladda oo wargelisay isticmaalayaal badan
Dowladda ACT waxay iimayl u dirtay dad gaaraya 6,000 oo isticmaalayaal, iyadoo uga digaysa isku dayo khiyaano ama phish ah oo dhici kara ka dib kharribanka. Dowladda ayaa sheegtay in qaar ka mid ah dadka kaamamka ku jira Canberra ay heleen fariimo laga shakiyay oo yimid iimayl ama WhatsApp.
Sarkaalka oo dadka ugu baaqay taxaddar
Bren Burkevics, oo ah maareeyaha guud ee waaxda, ayaa sheegtay in Bookeasy ay dowladda ACT u sheegtay in ay la kulantay dhacdo cyber iyo suurtagalnimada in macluumaad si aan loo fasixin la sii daayay, isla markaana dowladda ay joojisay isticmaalka website-kaas iyadoo taxaddar ku haysata. Wuxuu dadka ugu baaqay taxaddar weyn, wuxuuna ku nuuxnuuxsaday in ka fogaanshaha khiyaanada uu muhiim yahay, isagoo tilmaamay in macluumaad dheeraad ah laga heli karo scamwatch.gov.au, balse aan la gujin linkiyo aan la siin macluumaad xasaasi ah sida faahfaahinta kaadhka deynta ee codsiyada dadka saddexaad.
Officials warn about phishing attempts after around 6,000 users were emailed about the breach.
The ACT government has temporarily disabled the Bookeasy booking platform after the company reported a cyber incident and the possible unauthorised release of information, a department official said. Bookeasy processes bookings and permits for the National Parks booking system in the ACT and other Australian states.
Platform taken offline as a precaution
Bren Burkevics, the department's executive group manager, said Bookeasy had notified the ACT government of the incident. "So in the abundance of caution, the ACT government has suspended the use of that website," he said. The government said people can still book sites directly. VisitCanberra, used for accommodation and attraction bookings in the ACT, has also been compromised.
Personal data stored, no card details detected
Bookeasy stores personal data including emails, addresses and phone numbers. The platform said it has not identified any breaches of financial details and has not detected any access to credit card details. "Following a security alert, we were able to take immediate containment action. This included engaging cyber experts to assist with our investigation and provide advice," Bookeasy said.
Users warned of suspicious messages
The ACT government said it has emailed around 6,000 users warning them of attempts to scam or phish after the breach. It said some Canberran campers had received "suspicious messages via email of WhatsApp applications". "We urge extreme caution and to consider that there is a risk of being scammed," Burkevics said. He directed people to scamwatch.gov.au and advised against clicking links or giving sensitive information, particularly credit card details, to third-party applications.
