About 5000 Australian staff of the local unit of global security firm G4S have been affected by a data leak following a ransomware attack in July on a work site, iTWire understands.

The company offers services such as private security, prison management, cash transportation, care and justice, secure solutions and investigative services.

In Australia, it operates under the name G4S Australia and has provided security at the Coalition Government's refugee detention centre on Manus Island sometime back. G4S also provides services in a number of prisons in Australia.

The company says it employs more than half a million people around the world and claims it "plays a valuable and important role in society".
