From the source
In February 2024, the Australian Telco Tangerine suffered a data breach that exposed over 200k customer records . Attributed to a legacy customer database, the data included physical and email addresses, names, phone numbers and dates of birth. Whilst the Tangerine login process involves sending a one-time password after entering an email address and phone number, it previously used a traditional password which was also exposed as a bcrypt hash.
