Millions of Australians are caught up in a data breach with one of the nation’s largest telco’s

The telco says it is working with the Australian Federal Police to determine how the data was breached.

Optus has also called in external consultants to conduct an independent review of its data breach to ‘prevent it from occurring again’.

After almost two weeks of uncertainty for millions of customers, Optus has finally handed over data to Services Australia.

Optus has revealed more than two million customers had their identification documents exposed in the data breach.

The teleco giant has launched an independent review conducted by external consultants to investigate this major data breach.

The commissioner responsible for investigating the hack says the telco’s collection of personal data may have gone beyond its legal requirements.

At least 2.1 million personal identification numbers have been stolen

Optus believes 7.7 million do not need to replace documents.

The CEO of Optus says the telco’s mission is to protect customers.

Of the 2.1 million exposed, 900,000 identity documents had expired.

Optus has contacted all customers who need to take action.

Several government ministers have criticised the company’s response and its failure to promptly advise customers or the government what personal details had been compromised.
