Optus data breach customers navigate varied rules on changing drivers licence number.
When Bernard Sheppard heard there had been a data breach at Optus, the former customer strongly suspected he would be affected.
He received an email from Optus on Sunday, three days after the company confirmed the hack.
It stated his exposed data included his name, date of birth, email, phone number, address, and ID document such as a drivers licence or passport number.
Mr Sheppard said he was "disappointed but not surprised" by the breach that has affected up to 9.8 million current and former Optus customers.
More concerning is that he does not know whether it was his licence or passport number that was leaked, as he joined a long time ago and had since left the carrier.

You only need to worry if you have/had an optus account, either as a local Aussie or as a foreign tourist who bought optus sim card & registered their passport details during activation

Optus should have similar tight control like SingTel.
Nothing happened in SingTel so, why it did in Optus?
