Australia's TPG Telecom has disclosed a cyber breach affecting its iiNet broadband service, exposing data of approximately 280,000 customers. The compromised information includes active email addresses, landline phone numbers, usernames, and street addresses. The breach, which occurred in July 2025, impacted around 1.1 million customers in total, according to the data breach notification site Have I Been Pwned. This incident places iiNet alongside other major Australian companies such as Qantas and Medibank that have recently suffered large-scale customer data breaches. In response, Australian authorities and consumer protection organizations have issued warnings about increased scam activity, including phishing attempts via email and text messages that mimic legitimate communications. These scams often involve fraudulent messages about undelivered parcels or financial transactions, aiming to deceive recipients into revealing sensitive information. Officials, including Attorney General Kris Mayes and the Better Business Bureau, have advised the public to remain vigilant against such scams, particularly those related to cryptocurrency and remote job offers circulated on platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram.
