Shock for Firstmac customers as personal details leaked in worrying data breach from popular mortgage lender

Hackers have breached Australian non-bank mortgage lender Firstmac’s servers and leaked confidential client information like bank accounts, passport and driver’s license details online after the company failed to meet their ransom demand. The number of affected customers is still unclear. Despite this, Firstmac insists that the cyberattack did not affect its business operations or system security. An urgent investigation is ongoing.
