Overview

• The university said fraudulent emails told some students and graduates they were excluded or their qualifications had been revoked.
• Screenshots show language citing the Western Sydney University Act and By-law to bolster the messages’ credibility.
• Reported sender details mimicked official accounts, including [email protected] and a “Parking Permits” address.
• The institution apologised for concern, alerted NSW Police, and said it cannot provide further comment during the investigation.
• Authorities have not confirmed how many people received the emails or whether other data was accessed, following an earlier 2025 breach affecting about 10,000 students.
