2:10 PM The Story Behind the Blood Service’s Data Breach – Sharing Learnings on What to Expect and How to Respond to Breaches in Data
In October 2017, 1.3 million rows and 647 different tables of database from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service’s DonateBlood.com.au website was accessed by an unauthorised person.
