Hackers nicked significantly more data from a subsidiary of Austrian
broadcaster ORF than officials initially admitted, it has emerged. A
spokesman for GIS, the ORF’s radio and TV fee agency, announced today
(Tues) 214,000 customer data sets were stolen in the attack last week.
He added that 96,000 of the data featured clients’ bank account
information.

GIS officials announced last Friday the attack by Anonymous Austria
had little impact "because (customer) data are located on several
servers." Now a spokesman for the company admitted that the dimension
of the incident had been underestimated. "It wasn’t clear to us at
first what was actually going on," he told the press today.
