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. The Blood Service had to manage the incident while continuing to provide essential services to the health sector. This session will explore:

  • The story – what happened.
  • The response – what worked, what might be done differently and what was unexpected
  • Working with third party suppliers then and now
  • Notifying the Privacy Commissioner and the individuals affected
  • The impact of the data breach on the Blood Service
