We have already started our investigation into Latitude.

We are investigating how this data breach occurred and what harm has been suffered.

We are looking at the legal options for people who have been affected, including their options for compensation.

We are investigating a potential class action.

We have already lodged a representative complaint to the Privacy Commissioner against Latitude, through the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
