It's a Windows shop.

500,000 Web sites were cracked due to similar issues last year (XSS on IIS).

NSW Government job website hacked

| Like you, I get masses of spam. I knew it wasn't from jobs.nsw.gov.au no
| matter how much it pretended to be. I deleted it figuring it was âjust
| anotherâ bit of junk mail, although I was surprised to find one purporting to
| be from the NSW Government job board; that was definitely a new one on me!
|
| Had I thought about it deeper I might have considered this was no ordinary
| spam. This time there was a direct relationship between how the spammers got
| my e-mail address and the organisation they purported to represent.
|
| It turns out the Department of Commerce has taken this whole incident very
| seriously indeed, and far more than common garden-variety spam would
| necessitate.
|
| If you visit the site jobs.nsw.gov.au you will see it is inaccessible, and in
| fact, has been for a week. A message advises that the system is down
| for âsystem maintenance.â
