Lessons learned from Australia’s recent spate of data breaches

2022 ended with a number of high-profile data breaches that affected millions of Australians. Barely a quarter of the way into 2023, Latitude Financial has become the focus of the next serious data breach.

The government and the regulators have reacted swiftly and firmly, notably with an increase to penalties under the Privacy Act and we are likely to see more regulatory change this year in the areas of ransomware and privacy.
