Data stolen from 14 million Latitude customers.
It’s the worst cyber attack in our history, on a much bigger scale than the Optus and Medibank hacks for the amount of data stolen.
14 million Latitude Financial customers have had their data stolen with nearly eight million driver’s licenses and 53 thousand passports all compromised.
The news that 14 million customers of Latitude Financial Services had their personal data stolen in a data breach is shocking. This breach is one of the biggest in Australian history and highlights the importance of data security.
Latitude Financial Services is a leading Australian financial services provider. The company offers a range of products including personal loans, credit cards, and car and home loans. The company also has a large online presence, which is where the data breach occurred.
The data stolen included names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, account numbers, and more. This data could be used for identity theft, fraud, and other malicious activities.
It is important for customers to take steps to protect their data. They should change their passwords and create new ones that are difficult to guess. They should also ensure that they are using two-factor authentication when possible. Additionally, customers should be aware of any suspicious activity on their accounts.
This breach is a stark reminder of the importance of data security. Companies must take steps to ensure that their data is safe and secure, and customers must stay vigilant in protecting their own data. This breach could have serious implications for Latitude Financial Services and its customers, and it is important that all parties take steps to ensure that this type of incident does not happen again.
