My question is to the Acting Prime Minister and it concerns the Optus data breach. On ABC 7.30 last night the Minister for Home Affairs said:

What is of concern for us is how what is quite a basic attack was undertaken on Optus.

The Optus CEO this morning said, 'It's not as portrayed. Our data was encrypted and we have multiple layers of protection.' Does your government maintain that the Optus breach was 'quite a basic attack'?
