Sharp Motor Group (Tweed Heads): third-party IT provider cyber incident; OAIC notified
Cyber Daily's 28 August 2026 report quotes a Sharp Motor Group spokesperson confirming the Tweed Heads, NSW dealership is aware that its third-party IT provider has been involved in a cyber incident. The company said it is working with independent cyber specialists and relevant authorities, has notified the OAIC, and that staff and customer privacy remain the priority. Cyber Daily reports the Storm ransomware group listed Sharp Motor Group in a 23 August leak-site post and published sample files it claims were taken (including identity documents and financial material); those actor claims and any data-volume figures are not independently confirmed in the company statement and are not treated as verified facts on this desk. Storm has also listed other Australian automotive and machinery firms this month; company responses for those other listings were not confirmed in the same report.
