In an update on the data breach, the non-bank lender confirmed that driver's licences, passports and Medicare numbers have been hacked.
"As our review deepens to include non-customer originating platforms and historical customer information, we are likely to uncover more stolen information affecting both current and past Latitude customers and applicants," the company said. It said the cyber attack is now the subject of an investigation by the Australian Federal Police, but the scale of the data breach could grow.
The vast majority - 96 per cent - were driver's licences or driver's licence numbers, while less than 4 per cent was copies of passports or passport numbers and less than 1 per cent was Medicare cards.
