Another Australian organization, this time the electricity company EnergyAustralia, has been the victim of a severe cyber attack.

EnergyAustralia is the country's third-largest retailer of energy. Threat actors had access to information on 323 residential and small business customers, according to the company, but there was 'no evidence of data exfiltration.

The compromised data were stored on the company's online platform, My Account, and included customer names, addresses, email addresses, electricity and gas bills, phone numbers, and the first six and last three digits of their credit cards, according to a statement released on Friday. Passwords, banking information, driver's licenses, and passports, according to EnergyAustralia, were not compromised because they were not stored on the platform.
