Where does your data go when it's stolen?

Optus customers were horrified to discover last week their personal data had been hacked. Optus estimates that up to 9.8 million Australians could have their data compromised due to the attack, with 2.8 million severely impacted. So what exactly do the hackers do with your data?

Ravi Sen is Associate Professor of Information and Operations Management, Texas A&M University. Ravi joins us to explain firstly how your data is hacked, and secondly what the hackers actually do with it.

Mandatory holding of data like in the Optus hack means email addresses etc can be used for phishing and other scams. On today’s Briefing, where does your data go when it’s stolen?
