FIIG Securities Fined $2.5 Million for Cyber Security Failures
The Federal Court has ordered FIIG Securities Limited to pay a $2.5 million penalty for failing to protect client data from cyber threats over a four-year period. These systemic failures exacerbated a 2023 cyber-attack that resulted in the theft of sensitive information, including passports and bank details of 18,000 clients, which were leaked on the dark web. FIIG admitted it lacked adequate resources, failed to implement basic controls like multi-factor authentication, and did not have an appropriate, regularly tested incident response plan.
This serves a critical reminder for all licensees to ensure they have robust cyber security measures in place that are regularly tested to maintain operational resilience and protect sensitive client information. Read more here.
All AFSL holders should ensure they have effective cyber security measures in place.
