Optus customers are demanding bills for the next month be waived as compensation for a massive security breach that saw millions of customers personal details leaked.
The massive cyber breach allowed hackers to access personal details, such as passport and driver s licence numbers, email and home addresses, dates of birth and telephone numbers.
Cyber security consultancy Gridware told Daily Mail Australia the type of data stolen by hackers will be sold on the dark web to criminals who will then create authentic-looking fraudulent phishing scams.
A cyber-security expert warned Optus customers to be on the lookout for criminals mimicking them after hackers stole personal details from 10 million of the telco s customers.
