Posted on January 19, 2015 by Dissent

PM reports on another hack by “Abdilo,”

The computer systems and database of one of the country’s largest travel insurance companies has been hacked, and parts of its customer database posted online.

Aussie Travel Cover, a privately owned New South Wales based business has known about the hack since before Christmas, but opted not to tell insurance policy-holders.

[…]

On the 18th December last year, travel insurance provider Aussie Travel Cover was made aware that its computer system had been hacked.

The hacker stole a large amount of personal information, including names, phone numbers, email addresses, travel dates, and how much policies cost.
