The Company promptly implemented its back-up and business continuity systems and the incident did not affect delivery of resident care or services. The incident is not materially impacting Regis Healthcare’s day-to-day operations.
In addition to attempting to disrupt the Company’s operations, the party also copied some data from the Company’s IT system and released certain personal data publicly. The Company is contacting parties whose personal data has been publicly released. The Company has also reported the incident to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, the Australian Cyber Security Centre and other regulatory bodies.
“Our priority is maintaining safe and reliable operations while ensuring the security of personal information of our residents, clients, and employees.
