Western Sydney University (WSU) announced two security incidents that exposed personal information belonging to members of its community.
WSU is a prominent Australian institution offering various undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programs across multiple disciplines.
It serves a student body of 47,000 and employs over 4,500 permanent and seasonal staff, operating with an annual budget of approximately $600 million.
One of the incidents disclosed concerns the compromise of one of the University’s single sign-on (SSO) systems between January and February 2025.
This breach has reportedly led to the unauthorized access of demographic, enrollment, and progression information for approximately 10,000 current and former students.
