More than 180,000 New South Wales residents are believed to have been caught up in a major cyber security breach after a state government department was compromised earlier this year.

Service NSW this morning confirmed the large number of people likely impacted in the breach which was first reported publicly by the Government in May.

Those caught up in the "criminal attack" are now set to be informed by the department via registered post in the coming days.

Opposition MP Sophie Cotsis said the breach was "unprecedented".

"Whether it's births, deaths and marriages, registration, guardianship information — today people should be questioning whether they trust the information that they're providing to the Government and the security measures that the government is taking to keep their information safe."

She also criticised the Government for taking four months to alert residents.
