Hackers have breached Optus’ systems.
They accessed names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses and driver’s licence numbers of millions of the telecommunications giant’s customers.
Up to 9 million customers had been affected.
Many had their contact details exposed to the hackers, who also pilfered even more sensitive details, such as passport and drivers’ licence numbers, for a smaller portion of Optus customers.
