Optus

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.
