A man has been charged with hacking Australia's largest online court-filing system, but authorities do not believe the cyber crime has compromised any personal data.

The NSW JusticeLink allows lawyers, police and businesses to upload sworn statements, identity information and other files for the 400,000-plus court cases filed each year.
