Optus are trying to contact everyone that's been impacted, and it sounds like it's only a small percentage of their total customer base. So at this stage you may be fine.



"a small percentage"

Yeah, 2.x% sounds like a small percentage of the ~10M records.

It's still 2.x million people's records.


That last sentence - the answer is an order of magnitude smaller.


2.x% of 10M is ~200,000 not ~2 million.


Yeah my math sucks -- off by one (order of magnitude) error.

Also the 2 million number was what I had heard in the news, seems the number is actually 3.8 million records having a document number, according to this screenshot[1]
