Bad news. The Optus hacker has released 10,000 customer records and says a 10K batch will be released every day over the next four days if Optus doesn't give into the extortion demand. #OptusDataBreach #optushack #auspol #infosec 
Quick observation on this new data. It appears Medicare numbers may be exposed for some people. Redacted screenshot below. #Optus #OptusDataBreach
The word "Medicare" appears 55 times across these records.
Someone is claiming to have the stolen Optus account data for 11.2 million users. They want $1 million in the Monero cryptocurrency from Optus to not sell the data to other people. Otherwise, they say they will sell it in parcels. #optus #auspol #infosec #OptusHack
The person who runs this data market where the Optus data was posted says the data is real (I have not verified the data yet). The person writes that "optusdata" showed the script used to scrape the data and passed along info about the vulnerable endpoint. #infosec #OptusHack
I've run 10 email addresses from the second sample of the Optus data through @haveibeenpwned. Nine have been in multiple data breaches before, but one is unique to this sample. That's a strong sign this leak is the real deal.
