Vic MP's details exposed in terror hack

A Victorian MP whose private data was exposed in an Islamic State hack has spoken about his security with police.

The MP's name, phone number, home suburb and password were among the details posted online by a group calling itself Islamic State Hacking Division.

Premier Daniel Andrews said police were confident the situation was being handled appropriately.

"We take the matter seriously and there's been some discussions with that person, his safety and the safety of his family is very important," Mr Andrews told reporters on Thursday.

AAP has chosen not to reveal the identity of the male MP after obtaining the list on Wednesday, which also included details of Australian Defence Force employees.

Mr Andrews said Police Minister Wade Noonan had spoken to the MP about his and his family's security.

"We're confident and Vic Pol are confident they're taking this matter seriously and they're dealing with it appropriately," he said.

"I'm satisfied that everything we can do is being done."
