What happened

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) criminally charged two men (including an EY graduate contractor) for executing unauthorized lookups on restricted bank files via internal CBA systems. The data target included the private bank account, mortgage registries, and personal financial profiles of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and an EY partner. The breach was flagged by internal bank monitoring systems; EY immediately terminated the contracts of the personnel involved as the matter moved to the Downing Centre Local Court.
