The shipping company Svitzer has suffered a significant data breach affecting almost half its Australian employees.
It is among the first incidents to be disclosed under Australia's new notifiable data breaches scheme.
For almost 11 months, emails from three Australian employee email accounts were secretly auto-forwarded outside the company.
The hack affected accounts in finance, payroll and operations.
The sensitive personal information of around 500 employees was affected (Svitzer employs about 1,000 people in Australia).
