Super SA Cybersecurity Incident

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:15): My question is again to the Premier. Who is the third-party provider involved with the Super SA cybersecurity breach and do they have any current government contracts?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer) (14:15): I thank the member for Colton for his question. As I advised the house yesterday, this incident stems out of a cybersecurity breach that occurred back in November of 2019 when Super SA's ICT systems were accessed and a proportion of members' data was illegally obtained. In the course of dealing with that, a South Australian call centre company was engaged to assist Super SA to deal with the influx of inquiries that would be anticipated from members following Super SA advising them that they had been impacted by this.

That company is Contact 121. They were engaged at that time specifically for this purpose by Super SA, and the advice I have to date is that we are unaware of other government agencies using them post 2020. So, to specifically answer the member for Colton's question, the advice I have is that we are not aware of government agencies continuing to use this company to date.
