Origin Energy blackmailed over massive data breach
Origin Energy, Australia's biggest power provider, is investigating a suspected cyber attack affecting up to 5 million Australians.

The energy giant has alerted federal authorities and believes bank account and credit card details have not been compromised.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
