Optus has agreed to provide free credit monitoring to the millions of customers caught up in its massive data breach, as the home affairs minister flags changes to law to potentially fine companies millions for similar breaches.

The company on Monday said it had informed all customers via email or SMS if they had had their passport or driver’s licence numbers compromised in the breach last week.

The breach affected 9.8 million customers, of whom 2.8 million lost “significant amounts of data”, the home affairs minister, Clare O’Neil, told parliament on Monday.

The law firm Slater and Gordon has announced it is investigating launching a possible class action against Optus on behalf of customers. The firm’s class actions senior associate, Ben Zocco, said the breach was “potentially the most serious privacy breach in Australian history”.
