Personal data of Rio Tinto Ltd's former and current Australian employees may have been stolen by a cybercriminal group, local media outlet Australian Financial Review (AFR) reported on Thursday, citing a staff memo. Payroll information like payslips for a small number of staff had possibly, but not certainly, been seized by the group, according to the report.
"Investigations now indicate a possibility that Rio Tinto data may be impacted," Rio said in the note to its staff, according to AFR. Rio Tinto did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for confirmation.
