Vocus-owned ISP Dodo’s email system was breached on Friday last week, with some 1600 accounts accessed and a small number of customers then falling victim to SIM swapping.

The incident was disclosed via Dodo’s Facebook page on Sunday.

A spokesperson for Vocus confirmed the incident occurred on October 17, and that the telco had “progressively suspended email services temporarily for Dodo and iPrimus customers and restricted email services for Commander customers” in the aftermath.

“We have worked with impacted customers to reverse these SIM swaps and we continue to monitor this situation.”
