Latest India court data breach 'a slap in the face' after disclosures made in 2014

Key points

• Sensitive Australian court transcripts were reportedly sent to India more than a decade ago, according to emails that have only recently come to light. Former Auscript national manager Paul Cutbush says he raised concerns with the federal courts and the Australian Federal Police in December 2014, but no action followed.
• The family court later described the failure to disclose offshoring as a minor breach.
• Cutbush said he received no reply for two years, and a 2016 court email said the contract did not expressly bar offshore work, though it did.
