"Australian telecommunications company Optus says that 2.1 million of its customers had numbers associated with their identification documents compromised in a recent data breach.
On September 22, the wireless carrier announced it had fallen victim to a cyberattack that resulted in the potential compromise of the personally identifiable information of some of its customers, without providing specifics on the number of impacted individuals."
"While the wireless carrier has not provided specific details on how the cyberattack occurred, it appears that the company might have inadvertently exposed internal resources to the internet, providing the attackers with an easy way in."
