   Australian Human Right Commission leaks docs and personal information in   
   browser indexing mishap   
      
   Date:   
   Thu, 15 May 2025 21:00:00 +0000   
      
   Description:   
   Hundreds of private documents have been exposed.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has sent a data breach   
   notification that concerns attachments uploaded the the Commissions web forms   
   on its site. This includes around 670 documents that were made potentially   
   accessible in error, the Commission confirms.    
      
   Around 100 of these were actually accessed online, potentially through Bing    
   or Google - which prompted the Commission to address the breach.    
      
   The Commission takes the issue of privacy and data protection very seriously.   
   It is critical that people are able to securely share personal and sensitive   
   information with the Commission via our website. We sincerely apologise to   
   people who may be affected. The Commission is contacting affected individuals   
   for whom we have contact information to advise them of the breach.    
      
   The breach was not a result of malicious or criminal acts, although the   
   details will be updated as the investigations continue. Webforms from the   
   Speaking from Experience Project (March  September 2024), Human Rights Awards   
   2023 nominations (3 July 2023  4 September 2023), and National Anti-Racism   
   Framework concept paper (October 2021  February 2022) were also affected by   
   this data breach.    
      
   Many of these include personal information from those affected, although its   
   not clear specifically what was included. All affected in this incident have   
   reportedly been notified by the organization.    
      
   For anyone who fears they may have been affected by this or any other breach,   
   we recommend monitoring your accounts, cards, and statements closely to    
   ensure no suspicious activity is found.
