Origin Energy hit by massive data breach
Origin Energy, one of Australia's largest energy providers with 4.7 million customers, is investigating a suspected cyber attack. A hacker calling himself John Doe claims to have stolen personal details of two million customers, including names, phone numbers, birth dates, addresses and account details. The alleged cybercriminal has demanded Origin contact him within 14 days or he will leak the entire data set, with federal government and police now investigating the extortion attempt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
