SHOCKING BREACH: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Mobile Phone Number LEAKED Online – Alongside Sussan Ley and Other High-Profile Australians!
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s personal mobile phone number has been made public on a free online website, sparking a major security breach.
- The website, which boasts of having millions of professionals’ contact details, also lists Opposition Leader Sussan Ley, NSW Premier Chris Minns, and other prominent Australians.
- Authorities are investigating the matter, with Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles confirming that steps are being taken to address the situation.
In a devastating blow to the privacy of Australia’s top leaders, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s mobile phone number has been leaked online, available for anyone to access. The alarming security breach was revealed on a US-based website that offers a free trial, claiming to have the contact details of millions of professionals.
Opposition Leader Sussan Ley, NSW Premier Chris Minns, and other high-profile Australians have also fallen victim to the breach. Ms Ley’s team only became aware of the incident when contacted by the media, and have since requested her number be removed from the website.
Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles expressed concern over the situation, stating that authorities have been notified and are working to address the issue. “We’ve taken steps to deal with this, but obviously, there is concern,” he said.
The website utilizes artificial intelligence to collect contact details from social media, job portals, and other sources, allowing companies and professionals to exploit the information to their advantage. University of Melbourne Professor Toby Murray warned that the distribution of sensitive material has become increasingly easy with the rise of AI and related technologies.
“It’s become really easy to gather this kind of information together, where previously it might have taken hours or weeks of research,” Professor Murray said. “Everyone has a right to privacy, and it’s important that individuals are able to have their information removed.”
The website does offer an opt-out feature, but the damage may already be done. With private data now in the hands of unknown individuals, the risk of harassment and potential security threats looms large.
In the wake of this shocking breach, Australians are left wondering how safe their personal information really is. As NSW Premier Chris Minns aptly put it, “We want to make sure that we’re protecting that [data], but this is … the age that we live in — technology is rapidly changing.”
