Over 100,000 former and current Optus customers affected by a massive data breach in 2022 have taken court action against the Australian telco giant.

On April 21, law firm Slater and Gordon announced that it had launched a class action lawsuit on behalf of Optus customers whose personal information was compromised when a group of foreign criminals hacked into the company’s database in September 2022.
