In a cyber security breach, Queensland's most significant regional water supplier, Sunwater, was targeted by hackers who gained access to a water provider's servers.
No customer or financial information was stolen in the breach.
Six water authorities including Seqwater, Sunwater, Urban utilities, Unitywater, Gladstone Area Water Board, and the Mount Isa Water board suffered from this incident.
No financial or customer information had been stolen, according to a spokeswoman for Sunwater, and as soon as unauthorized access to an online content management system was discovered, appropriate security measures were taken.
