Cybersecurity in Australia: a mindset change

These include a significant cyber-attack last October at health insurer, Medibank, which saw the personal information of nearly ten million users fall into wrong hands, and a data breach in March 2023 at consumer lending business, Latitude Financial, which impacted over 14 million users in the Oceania region.
