Industry & Retail Super Funds Ignored Cyber Warnings

Industry Leaders Were Told to Act. They Didn’t.

In a move that should infuriate every Australian, peak superannuation bodies have been accused of ignoring repeated calls to implement basic cybersecurity protections—like multifactor authentication. 

These weren’t obscure recommendations either. Consumer groups flagged the risk multiple times, only to be dismissed as making “onerous” demands.

Now the consequences are catching up. A major breach, decades of retirement savings exposed, and millions of Australians are left wondering: How could this happen?
