The South Australian Department of Infrastructure and Transport has confirmed that mySA Gov accounts have been compromised by cyber-attacks. MySA Gov is an online platform for the South Australian government and an application that gives citizens access to a single government services account, such as a location check or completion of vehicle registration activities.
The department said criminals accessed these accounts as account holders used the same name or same password in their mySA Gov account as they used their account with an unrelated website.
