Sensitive information about almost 10 million Australian telecoms subscribers may have been compromised by a massive hack of the country's second-largest provider, the firm revealed Friday.

The data accessed included customers' names, dates of birth, phone numbers and email addresses, as well as some driver's licence and passport numbers.
No passwords or bank details were taken, according to the Singapore-owned firm.
