Australia's media regulator is taking legal action against telecom carrier Optus, owned by Singapore Telecommunications, over a cyber attack it faced in September 2022, the telecom operator said on Wednesday.
Following the incident, the country's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called for tougher privacy rules to force companies to notify banks faster when they experience similar data breaches. The Australian Communications and Media Authority is alleging that Optus Mobile failed to protect the confidentiality of personally identifiable information of its customers from unauthorised interference or unauthorised access.Optus has been taking necessary steps to mitigate the issue and has been cooperating with the authorities as the case moves to court, the company said.
Optus has been one of Singtel's largest investments overseas though it has recently drawn public ire after a 12-hour network blackout that affected more than 10 million Australians.
