Queensland students' personal information hacked in cyber attack

The premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, says education department computers were breached revealing private data including allegations of sexual assault

Allegations of sexual assault are among the personal information about students that has been hacked in Queensland's education department, the premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, told parliament on Thursday.

Earlier this week the attorney general, Yvette D'Ath, told parliament a cyber attack on TAFE Queensland and Department of Education and Training computers uncovered only low-level information that "would be otherwise found on other public websites such as the White Pages".
