> it seems to me that with only 600 accounts losing an average of ~$800 each
From the article:
> AustralianSuper, the country's largest fund managing A$365 billion for 3.5 million members, said that up to 600 member passwords had been stolen to access accounts and attempt fraud.
> Four AustralianSuper members had a combined A$500,000 drained from their balances and transferred to other accounts that did not belong to them, according to the source, who was not authorised to speak publicly about the matter.
It's not completely clear if 600 passwords were "stolen" but only four accounts had any money transferred, or if there are more accounts at that fund that had money transferred.
And that's just one fund.
> Rest Super, the default industry pension fund for retail workers, with A$93 billion of assets under management, said it suffered an attack that impacted around 20,000 accounts, or around 1% of its 2 million members.
