Australia’s IPH switches to new network infrastructure after cyberattack

Intellectual property services provider IPH Ltd said on Friday it has established new network infrastructure and restored key system functionality, a week after reporting a data breach that affected a portion of its IT systems.

The company detected unauthorised access to document management systems last week, which included administrative documents as well as some client documents and correspondence at its head office and two member firms.

IPH said on Friday new systems were now in use by the two affected member firms, Spruson & Ferguson (Australia) and Griffith Hack.
