Australia's communications watchdog has launched legal action against Optus after the massive data breach that affected 10 million people.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority announced it had filed proceedings in the Federal Court against the Singapore-owned telco.
"We allege that during a data breach which occurred between 17 to 20 September 2022, Optus failed to protect the confidentiality of its customers' personal information from unauthorised interference or unauthorised access," the watchdog said in a statement.
