Origin Energy hit by massive cyber attack and blackmail threat
Origin Energy faces a major cyberattack, with a hacker calling himself John Doe claiming to have stolen the personal data of 2 million customers, including names, phone numbers, birth dates, addresses, and account details. The hacker is blackmailing the energy giant, giving it a 14-day deadline to settle or face public release of the data. The company has alerted federal authorities and is urgently investigating the breach, which follows a similar attack on the partnered health medical group affecting 21 clinics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
