Au: Shock for customers as personal details leaked in worrying breach

Posted on May 11, 2024 by Dissent

Zak Wheeler reports:

Hackers have cracked a popular mortgage lender’s servers and gained access to the personal information of its clients.

Firstmac, an Australian non-bank mortgage lender, sent out a round of emails to customers this week alerting them to the fact that their data may have been breached.

Information accessed by hackers included bank accounts, passport numbers, addresses, phone numbers and driver’s licence details.

It is unknown how many customers were affected by the breach which Firstmac said had no impact on the company’s business operations or systems security.
