Optus has suffered a massive data breach, compromising the personal information of up to 9 million customers.
About 2.8 million customers have had all their personal details taken in the cyber attack, including their passport and licence numbers, email and home addresses, dates of birth and telephone numbers.
About 7 million had their dates of birth, email addresses and phone numbers stolen.
The breach involves both current and former customers.
This is worrying.

I wouldnt be suprised if the hacker is a teenager and the parent works for optus.
The hacker realised that not only the federal police are investigating, but now singapore are using their resources and also interpol is invloved as its an international incident (as IPs came out from europe, probably using onion network).
Wont be long till they catch this scum bag and they are held accountable.
