Origin Energy has completed most of its customer-by-customer review of data accessed in its July breach, confirming that about 60 customers had full bank-account numbers accessed and about 100 had ID-document numbers accessed.

The company previously said roughly 900,000 current and former customers were affected. It said the criminal investigation remains ongoing and that it is notifying customers with details of the data involved, support options and practical advice. Origin also said no scanned copies of ID documents were affected.
