Mortgage lender Firstmac has been subject to a cyber attack where customer data, including banking details and driver's license numbers, were exposed.
Non-bank mortgage lender Firstmac has suffered a cyber attack where customers' personal details have been leaked online. "If our customers do not hear from us, that is because our ongoing investigation has not discovered any evidence they are affected by this incident," the spokesperson said. "They just said this is what's happened, they've engaged IDCARE national security cyber support community service, and suggested that we contact them as to what to do," Mr Wharton said.Protections introduced in the wake of the 2022 Optus data breach block more than 300,000 fraudulent attempts to use Australians' stolen data.
Ms Lang said she would like to see banks cross-check account names when transfers are made, and businesses delete customer's private data after they've done the necessary checks.
