[AusNOG] Optus Hack

[Martin Visser]

I also wonder whether they retained only say Driver's Licence number and
not the expiry date. (Same for passport). At least that might limit the
damage if those that now need to verify ID info at least can ask if you
have those dates - a potential misuser of that data wouldn't have those
dates. (I know my DL number and the day and month by heart, but I had to
check which year it expires from the actual card)
