Σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις, διέρρευσαν και στοιχεία πιστωτικών καρτών. Άλλες ιστοσελίδες του Ομίλου μας δεν επηρεάστηκαν,” αναφέρει η ανακοίνωση για τους πελάτες τις ιστοσελίδας.

"At the time, we immediately notified the police, banks and credit card companies who helped us take action to protect our users, for actions that included credit cards and the initiation of investigations into the perpetrators.

"We have also informed the Australian Data Protection Commissioner."

The company said it was notifying its customers today to change passwords because "technological developments" indicated that there was an increased risk of password leakage.
