The data of approximately 30,000 customers of Australia’s four largest banks was stolen using malware installed on mobile phones and personal computers.

Hackers breached the security of the four banks without the institutions noticing their intrusion, and then dumped this information on dark web forums, according to cybersecurity firm Dvuln.

The specialized firm has indicated that “the breaches affect approximately 14,000 Commonwealth Bank customers, 7,000 ANZ customers, 5,000 NAB customers, and 4,000 Westpac customers. The data was collected over a period of at least four years through malware campaigns targeting personal devices.”

On the other hand, it has emphasized that this is not a breach in the banks’ security systems, “but rather individual infections of users’ phones and computers” using infostealer-type malware.

According to the intelligence firm KELA, “more than 3.9 billion passwords have been stolen using this type of malware globally.”

Experts from KELA and Dvuln have emphasized the need to increase protective measures not only by users, “but also by software developers, governments, and financial institutions, which must adopt more aggressive digital defense strategies.”
