Darebin City Council has suspended its service with third-party supplier OracleCMS due to a cyber security incident.
An unauthorized third party accessed and published a portion of OracleCMS’s data online, primarily consisting of corporate details.
OracleCMS provides after hours customer service support for a number of councils across Victoria and Australia.
Darebin City Council said its systems were not compromised, and any potentially accessed customer data is expected to be basic contact information.
The council is working with the supplier to understand the impact further and will contact customers directly if their data has been accessed.
Similar statements have been issued by Knox, Monash, Manningham and Whitehorse councils.
