As the shockwaves from the massive Optus customer data breach ripple across Australia, there are already rumblings of a class action lawsuit.
In Melbourne, law firm Slater and Gordon said on Tuesday it was investigating whether a deficiency in Optus's management of data had led to the personal information of nearly 10 million current and former customers being leaked.
"At this stage, we consider that affected customers may have claims against Optus for, among other things, failing to properly store and secure customer data and allowing it to be accessed by a bad actor," the firm's Ben Zocco said.
