Following the release of the Australian Privacy Commissioner’s report, which today confirmed that customers’ personal information was not publicly available on the internet, Vodafone has outlined the immediate action that was taken to strengthen data security.
Changes include improving login identification and authentication processes, more frequent password resets, limiting approved access points for stores and dealers and even more stringent monitoring and detection technologies. A number of other additional security measures are also being implemented.
“There were areas that needed improvement, which this incident highlighted. We responded quickly, took action with those employees involved who had shared passwords, and brought forward the implementation of a number of new security measures to better protect all customer information,” said Nigel Dews, CEO of Vodafone Hutchison Australia.
