Information on data leak for former staff members

27.10.2025

The external service provider of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and GMI that handles the payroll accounting was hacked recently.

A data leak affecting past and present staff of the ÖAW and all its institutes including GMI occurred.

Human Resources (HR) of GMI has informed current staff and took measures to contact former staff members that were affected.

For a few former staff members, however, no contact information could be found.

If you are a former GMI staff member who was not contacted about a breach of privacy and suspect that you could be affected by the data leak, you are invited to contact HR for further information: hr-gmi-imba(at)vbc.ac.at
