An Australian medical research institute in Herston is the latest victim of the Accellion data breach.
4% of QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute participant data held on the file-sharing system was accessed by an unknown party.
“We don’t believe that any of the information in Accellion could be used to identify any of these participants, but nonetheless, I want to apologise sincerely that some of their de-identified information could potentially have been accessed,” said Director and CEO Professor Fabienne Mackay.
