TELSTRA TOO — Australian Telco Breach

Don’t worry, says Telstra, only 30,000 former staff were compromised.

The Dark Night Online | AUSTRALIAN TELCOS BREACHED | Australian Telco Telstra was also breached, but “don’t worry”, says Telstra, it happened back in 2017, only a database of the personal details of 30,000 Telstra staff who worked for Telstra prior to that time was published online for scammers.

Meaning? Since 2017 scammers have had the personal details of Telstra staff who worked for Telstra prior to 2017, who they could compromise to get intel on Australian telecommunications practices.

Doesn’t anyone understand security?
