The company says credit card and bank details appear unaffected, but has not confirmed the number of customers involved or how the breach occurred. A person claiming responsibility told a newspaper they hold records of millions of customers, including names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, and billing history — though this has not been independently verified. Origin has notified the Australian Cyber Security Centre, the Australian Federal Police, and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. The incident follows a pattern of high-profile corporate breaches in Australia, including the 2022 Optus and Medibank attacks, and customers are advised to remain vigilant against phishing and suspicious communications. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
