"In recent days, both Ticketek Australia and Ticketmaster have experienced
breaches which have exposed customer details to hackers. They join a growing
list of high-profile data breaches that have put the privacy of millions at
risk.
For example, in 2022, Optus disclosed a breach of 9.8 million records. In 2023,
Latitude, the Australian financial services firm, experienced a data breach of
more than 14 million records.
My own university, the Australian National University, experienced a data
breach of 200,000 records in 2018. Dan Murphy’s, Football Australia, Microsoft,
Nissan, Dell, Roku, Suncorp and Shell have all experienced breaches so far in
2024.
Despite advancements in technology and increased awareness of cybersecurity
threats, companies continue to fall victim to breach attacks.
It may feel like these breaches are becoming more frequent, and that seemingly
any firm is a data breach target waiting to happen. But the situation is not
quite so clear-cut."
