Cybersecurity breach at NSW Health declared 'major incident'

A cybersecurity breach at New South Wales Health has been officially classified as a major incident by state authorities. The State Crime Command’s Cybercrime Squad began investigating after being alerted to the suspected data breach on Friday afternoon. Officials from Cyber Security NSW stated that the intrusion affected an isolated server and confirmed that no patient data has been compromised or placed at risk. Health Minister Ryan Park explained that public notification was delayed because police required time to assess the situation during the active investigation. While acknowledging the increasing difficulty of defending against digital threats, government ministers emphasized that robust security systems remain in place and that no clinical services have been disrupted.
