- Origin Energy’s breach hits 900k Australians. The hacker claims 2M, but the manifest only confirms 900k. Stop kidding yourself about the scale; the data is real. Passwords and personal details are exposed. This isn’t a crypto heist, but it’s bad OPSEC. Treat your credentials like unsealed cargo. Change passwords now. Enable 2FA everywhere. Don’t let your digital life be loose freight. We're threadbare on patience for sloppy security. Check the seals on your accounts before they get picked clean.
