Origin Energy hit by massive cyber attack and blackmail threat

Origin Energy faces a major cyber attack with a hacker calling himself John Doe claiming to have stolen personal data of two million customers, including names, phone numbers, birth dates, addresses and account details. The hacker is blackmailing the energy giant with a 14-day deadline to settle or face public release of the data. The company has alerted federal authorities and is urgently investigating the breach, which follows a similar attack on the partnered health medical group affecting 21 clinics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
