Super SA Cybersecurity Incident

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:13): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier stand by his statement made in the house yesterday? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr COWDREY: In response to questions yesterday, the Premier informed the house that his office was first advised of the Super SA cybersecurity incident on 12 October, yet it was reported in The Advertiser today that the Department of the Premier and Cabinet was made aware of the breach on 18 August.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for Chaffey! Member for West Torrens! The Premier has the call.

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:14): I am more than happy to provide a degree of clarity for the member for Colton. It might not have been immediately obvious to him at the time, but I was talking specifically in respect of the information associated with Super SA rather than any earlier advice around potential notification. The state government receives notifications on a frequent basis particularly around our unit that is responsible for monitoring cyber attacks, but it was on the 18th that we became aware—I am advised that we became aware of the issues in regard to the Super SA data breach—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS: —which is what has been explained over the last few days.
