CYBERATTACK ON AUSTRALIAN PHONES DISCLOSES PERSONAL INFORMATION

  • 22/09/2022

Optus, the second-largest telecommunications provider in Australia, has disclosed a cyberattack. Customers' names, birthdates, phone numbers, and email addresses were exposed due to the breach.

The company, which has over ten million subscribers, claims to have stopped the attack, but not before other information, including the numbers on driver's licences and passports, was compromised. Payment information and account passwords, according to Optus, were safe. 

The company said it would notify those at "heightened risk" but all customers should check their accounts.
