Australian power producer Origin Energy said on Thursday that a security incident ​had resulted in the unauthorised ‌access and disclosure of some customer data. The confirmation comes a day after the ​country’s top electricity and gas ​retailer said it was investigating a potential security ⁠incident. The data includes personal information such ​as names, addresses, contact numbers and ​account information, as well as affected customers’ financial information including the last few digits of a credit card ​or a bank account, Origin said on Thursday. Origin ​had earlier said it did not expect the ‌affected ⁠data to include credit card or bank details. “One of our key priorities is taking action to secure our systems ​and ensure ​no further ⁠unauthorised access,” Origin CEO Frank Calabria said. The energy retailer said ​it is reaching out to affected customers ​and ⁠has set up a dedicated contact number and additional resources to help manage ⁠the ​situation. Origin is still assessing ​the total number of affected customers, it said.
