Community-focused social media site Neighbourly has confirmed a data breach affected some of its members.
In an email to users at around midday on Saturday, the organisation said some data from registered users had been breached.
"We are now satisfied that the breach was quickly contained, and we have restored the Neighbourly site and services."
Names, email addresses, GPS coordinates, some phone numbers, public forum posts and direct member communications were accessed without authorisation in the breach, the email read.
"It did not include passwords but some publicly advertised event and business addresses were included. Following best practice, we will look to seek a court injunction against any use of the material."
The breach comes as ManageMyHealth, the country's largest patient information portal, confirmed it had identified a cyber security incident involving "unauthorised access" to its platform.
