June 4 (Reuters) - Rare earths miner Northern Minerals
NTU.AX on Tuesday said some of the company's data has been
compromised and released on the dark web from the cyberattack it
faced in late March this year.
The leaked data includes the firm's corporate, operational
and financial information, details relating to current and
former personnel, and some shareholder information, the company
said.
The breach did not have a material impact on its operations
or broader systems, the company said, adding that it has
reviewed its processes and implemented actions to strengthen its
systems.
In separate news, Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers ordered
several China-linked investors to dispose of shares in Northern
Minerals on national interest grounds.
