There are isolated problems with current patches, but they are well-known and documented on this site. |
Australia :
Consumer finance provider Latitude Financial said it has been the victim of a hacking incident and believes identification documents of 328,000 customers were stolen, including the driver’s licence details of about 100,000 customers.
Latitude provides consumer finance services to Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Apple and recently signed up David Jones. The company declined to say if consumers who are using financing from these companies are impacted…
Latitude has a number of financial products down under, not usually under that as a trading name. They also sell insurance products, which they are “not currently selling”.
Gem Visa is one of their products.
As of today, Latitude understands that approximately 103,000 identification documents, more than 97% of which
are copies of drivers’ licences, were stolen from the first service provider. Approximately 225,000 customer records
were also stolen from the second service provider.
Latitude apologises to the impacted customers and is taking immediate steps to contact them. Further updates will
be provided to the ASX and on Latitude’s website
per their ASX announcement, March 16th 2023
