What To Know About the Breach:
After a cyber attack on Optus, up to 9.8 million Australian people are at risk of having their data and personal information illegally leaked.
It appears to be an Optus data breach. “Optusdata,” a user on a data breach forum, claimed to have the material and threatened to sell it for $1 million in bitcoin if Optus didn’t pay up. If Optus didn’t pay up, the attacker threatened to sell the information for $1 million in bitcoin.
The individual then apologized before deleting their postings and releasing what they claim are 10,000 customer records. Other than what was stated on the website, nothing is known about them.
Who has the data?
It is not clear whether “Optusdata” is the person responsible for the attack, or whether they are the only person who has access to the data.
