Optus Mobile, according to ACMA, has breached the Australian Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 for failing to protect the confidentiality of personally identifiable information of its customers from unauthorised interference or unauthorised access when the attack took place in September 2022.
Australian authorities are bringing Optus, Singtel's local unit, to court over a cyberattack that resulted in data leak.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has filed proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia against Optus Mobile.
