Woollahra Municipal Council

Residents in some of the wealthiest suburbs in Sydney might have had their credit card information and personal data compromised in an attempted pre-Christmas hack on the Woollahra Council library.

The number of individuals impacted is unknown, however Council has confirmed that some of our customers' personal information may have been accessed by the hacker.

The Woollahra Council stated that name, address, phone number, email address, and partial credit card payment information are among the types of data that are kept and may be disclosed.

Only holders of library cards who have used computers, made reservations, printed and scanned documents, or paid fines at the library have been impacted by the event, which was directed at a third-party software system.
