Computers from a federal research network, a peak sporting body, a school and a local council are among tens of thousands of machines which have been hacked and had their login details put up for sale in a dark web marketplace, a Four Corners investigation has revealed.

Other major companies including Jetstar and Suzuki have systems suspected to have been compromised, but both companies deny being breached.

In June this year, security firm Kaspersky released a report that revealed more than 70,000 computers around the world had been hacked, with their usernames and passwords put up for sale on the dark web.
