Firstmac Limited is warning customers that it suffered a data breach a day after the new Embargo cyber-extortion group leaked over 500GB of data allegedly stolen from the firm.
Yesterday, Have I Been Pwned creator Troy Hunt published on X a sample of the notification letter sent to Firstmac customers, informing them of a severe data breach.
Australian news outlets reported about the attack on Firstmac in late April after the Embargo extortion group announced it on its data leak site.
On Thursday, Embargo leaked all data they claimed to have stolen from Firstmac's systems, including documents, source code, email addresses, phone numbers, and database backups.
