Eyewear giant Specsavers has admitted that the personal information of some clients in regional Queensland was missing.
The exposed information includes the name, date of birth, address, phone number, email address, clinical records of optometry tests, and Medicare details.
How the information was compromised is still being investigated, but it appears a physical computer server was stolen.
Details supplied to customers said the information disappeared while refurbishment works at the Stockland Shopping Centre store were underway.
