Origin Energy is investigating a suspected cybersecurity incident in which some customer information may have been accessed by an unauthorised party, according to multiple reports. The company says it is aware of an incident and is assessing whether customer data was involved and to what extent.

The company is continuing to investigate and has not publicly confirmed the full nature of the data potentially accessed. As the assessment proceeds, Origin’s focus is on determining the scope of any exposure, the circumstances of the incident, and any next steps needed to protect customers and address potential risks.
