All recent data breaches came from 1 person within that Co, who got sloppy, not from a super hacker with code breaking algorithms

I’ve now collected the trinity of personal data hacks. Optus, Medibank and now Latitude. I’ve had my data stolen and NOT ONE of these companies has done JACK SHIT to help rectify it. I get CONSTANT scam texts and calls. Fuck these companies

The fallout of the #Optus hack continues some months later. Three men are alleged to have operated a phishing scam out of Adelaide using details from the hack. #Spotify#Foxtel#Netflix details all part of the allegations. #Optushack

We've been pulling at this #OptusHack thread for a while - some current and former customers of several major Optus sub-brands, some which have been shut down for years, are among the victims | Story by @saunokonoko@Ninecomau9news.com.au/national/optus-…
Re #Optushack@ServiceNSW told me that new laws in NSW required banks to ask for your licence CARD number ( not licence number) when verifying your identity. When I checked something with my bank the person did NOT ask for it. Problem is most people's license numbers were leaked.
