A cybersecurity breach has impacted a second Australian business owned by Singaporean telco giant SingTel, following the leak ofOn Monday, Dialog — one of Australia’s largest IT services companies, which was purchased by SingTel in March for $325 million — disclosed that company data had been stolen from its servers and posted online.
Dialog has been operating since 1979, and its clients include National Australia Bank, Virgin Australia and several government departments. It’s owned by NCS, the services-focused subsidiary of Optus owner SingTel.The company said it was alerted to the breach on September 10, but believed no data had been accessed. However, a “very small sample” was published online on October 7, indicating an attacker did indeed access and copy some information.
“We are doing our utmost to address the situation and, as a precaution, we are actively engaging with potentially impacted stakeholders to share information, support and advice,” Dialog said. Dialog has been operating since 1979, and its clients include National Australia Bank, Virgin Australia and several government departments. It’s owned by NCS, the services-focused subsidiary of Optus owner SingTel.Given the stated sequence of events, the breach at Dialog would have happened about 10 days before the much larger issue at Optus. Dialog’s systems are independent of those of SingTel, NCS and Optus, and there’s no evidence that the two recent incidents are linked, SingTel said.
