Australian financial services company Latitude Financial Services is notifying roughly 300,000 customers that their personal information might have been compromised in a data breach.
A subsidiary of Deutsche Bank and KKE operating since 2015 and headquartered in Melbourne, Latitude is the largest non-bank lender of consumer credit in Australia, also offering services in New Zealand, under the brand Gem Finance.
On Thursday, the company disclosed falling victim to a cyberattack that forced it to suspend services and which also resulted in the theft of customer data.
“Latitude Financial has experienced a data theft as the result of what appears to be a sophisticated and malicious cyberattack,” Latitude says in a data breach notice.
