Personal data of Rio Tinto Ltd’s former and current Australian employees might have been stolen by a cybercriminal group, a staff memo seen by Reuters says.

Payroll information, such as pay slips and overpayment letters, of a small number of employees from January 2023 had possibly been seized by the group, the memo showed.
