How can we protect ourself. What steps can we take given the CEO says the following:
"Importantly, no financial information or passwords have been accessed. The information which has been exposed is your name, date of birth, email, and the number of the ID document you provided such as drivers licence or passport number. No copies of photo IDs have been affected.
It is also important to know that Optus’ network and Optus services including mobile and home Wi-Fi aren’t affected, and no passwords were compromised, so our services remain safe to use and operate as per normal."
Effectively saying, dont change your password. Hackers dont need it.
