The Victorian Government is aware of a small collection of user credentials associated with Australian governments systems, which was recently grouped into a single online forum on the dark web.

The data is believed to be a collection of credentials shared by users with third parties since 2020 and is not a breach of internal government systems.

Protecting data and systems is our highest priority. Impacted individuals have been contacted directly by VicRoads and prompted to update their myVicRoads password.

VicRoads has recently introduced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) which provides an additional layer of security to registered accounts.
