Optus is now working “very closely” with the appropriate authorities and the Australian Federal Police as the case has turned into a criminal investigation. “We’re devastated that this could occur, but it’s a good warning to all organisations that even if you have strong cyber capabilities, dedicated focus and investment in this area, there are sophisticated actors out there,” she told Sky News Australia. She also confirmed that no financial information or passwords were compromised in the cyberattack. “We are doing everything we can to sound the alarm broadly and to let customers be on high alert, so we hopefully avoid any harm coming from this breach,” she said.

PETA has ‘outdone themselves’ after calling for ‘sex strike’PETA has ‘outdone themselves’ after calling for ‘sex strike’Sky News host Chris Smith says animals rights group PETA – the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals – have pushed their agenda in “so many ridiculous ways” over the years. “From calling for a ban on shearing, because it hurt the sheep, to campaigning for a ban on the name of a Tasmanian waterway Egg and Bacon Bay – but they have now outdone themselves,” he said. “PETA - not Credlin - wants all women to impose a sex ban on men who eat meat because they're responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions.” Mr Smith said the call for the strike had “not gone down too well in Germany” where men are discussing protests. “Yes, blokes with banners, walking the streets pleading for sex,” he said.

Optus’ response to massive data breach ‘incredibly weak’Optus’ response to massive data breach ‘incredibly weak’Sky News host Chris Smith says the massive Optus data leak which compromised the privacy of up to 9.8 million users raises the issue of if customers “can ever trust the security of our utility providers again”. “What was Optus up to, in delaying news of the breach to the public, and then to their customers?” he said. “The government's Scamwatch site says: ‘If you are an Optus customer, your name, date of birth, phone number, email addresses may have been released'. “’For some customers, identity document numbers, such as driver's licences, or passport numbers, could be in the hands of criminals’.” Mr Smith said this leak could make it easy for criminals to commit identity theft but questioned why, if the breach was discovered on Wednesday night, Optus did not make a statement until 2pm Thursday afternoon. “That's an incredibly weak response,” he said. “That delay has clearly allowed hackers, to begin the process of harvesting key data, without customers able to offset those attacks themselves. “And what is also astounding about the way Optus is handling this, is that still today, they don't know exactly how many customers are impacted.”
