Aussie companies hit by hackers as PM blasts ‘scourge’
UPDATE: Binge denies it was one of the companies caught up in the breach: “No credit card details have been compromised”
Thousands of Australian customers of major businesses including BINGE, Event Cinemas, Dan Murphy’s, and Guzman Y Gomez have been targeted in a coordinated cyber attack.
Unlike recent hacks on Medibank and Optus, this latest attack involved a method known as ‘credential stuffing’, where cyber criminals use previously stolen passwords and attempt to use them elsewhere. In this case, hackers were able to access online user accounts for the aforementioned businesses and ring up purchases.
My Partner flagged this in November with GYG, as was getting some time multiple orders a day and was told it was a you problem. HA. not so much of a You problem now is it GYG!
