The plaintiff law firm Maurice Blackburn has joined Slater & Gordon in investigating a claim against Optus.

The law first already has a class action against Optus over a data breach back in 2019. 

Principal lawyer Vavaa Mawuli told Chris Smith “there’s a lot of interest so far”.

“It really is a wake-up call to Optus and others that when you are managing people’s personal sensitive information you have to have the best systems in place to protect that information.”
