JB

The Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) is the latest high-profile organisation to become embroiled in a data breach.

Students at the Academy apply both to the Defence Force and to the University of New South Wales (UNSW), which runs the academic side of ADFA's operations in Canberra.

It turns out that a hacker calling himself Darwinare breached the UNSW's servers about a month ago and sucked down a heap of SQL database records, including those of ADFA students.
