SYDNEY: Australia has proposed an overhaul of consumer privacy rules that will help facilitate targeted data sharing between telecommunication firms and banks following a massive data breach at Optus, the country’s second-largest mobile operator.
Last month’s cyber attack on Optus, owned by Singapore Telecommunications Ltd or Singtel, was one of Australia’s biggest data breaches.
