Latitude Financial was targeted by a cyber-attack that resulted in the theft of personal information.
The theft affected customers, past customers and applicants across Australia and New Zealand.
The identity information gathered at the time of application or account opening was the stolen data.
They acted immediately to contain the attack, including taking systems offline to protect personal information.
Latitude will not pay any ransom to the criminals, they believe it would be detrimental to our customers and Australian and New Zealand businesses to do so and would not result in the return or destruction of the information that has been stolen.
