A class action against Optus could easily be Australia's biggest: worth billions
06-10-2022, 02:43 AM
With the Optus data breach exposing almost 10 million current and former customers to identity theft, law firms are circling for what could end up being the biggest — and most valuable — class action case in Australian legal history.
A settlement could well be worth billions, eclipsing the current record of $500 million paid to 10,000 victims of Victoria's 2009 Black Saturday bushfires.
Two class-action specialists, Maurice Blackburn and Slater and Gordon, are considering suing, and it's possible others will follow. (Maurice Blackburn also has another case against Optus on its books over a 2019 data breach involving 50,000 customers.)

Optus mass text and email sent to customers.
"Only the licence number on your driver licence was exposed, not the card number," the message said. "Your state or territory government will provide advice on any action that you may need to take."
It took the telco another two days for an update, and on Tuesday morning a follow up text was sent to those same NSW customers.
"Both your driver licence number and card number are required to verify your identity," it stated. "You do not need to replace your driver licence."
