Around 300K customer records have been hacked, Australian financial services provider says.
Latitude provides buy now, pay later (BNPL) schemes to a number of major Australian retailers, including Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, David Jones and The Good Guys.
It last month announced it was shutting down that BNPL offering in Australia and New Zealand.
It will continue to provide its main fare of personal credit cards, travel credit cards, and short-term personal loans.
UNSW cybersecurity expert Richard Buckland told ABC News the breach was “very concerning” given the level of information people have to give over to get loans.
Latitude has 2.8 million current customers. It could not tell ABC News whether the hack concerned only their data or potentially former customers too.
Professor Buckland said the company’s statement was “a bit coy” about what precisely had been stolen.
