Origin Energy, Australia’s largest power and gas provider, suffered a major cyberattack exposing customer data including names, addresses, and partial bank and credit card details. The company is still assessing the scale, with hackers claiming to have stolen data for two million customers — though Origin hasn’t confirmed that. CEO Frank Calabria apologized, emphasizing customer trust, while the firm partners with government agencies and offers support resources. Though partial card details can’t be used alone, experts warn of rising cyber threats across Australia, with nearly half the population affected last year. Origin faces potential fines of up to $50 million if negligence is proven — a situation that’s testing both corporate accountability and public patience.
