Latitude Financial fears the cyber attack on its system could be worse than first thought and is not taking on new customers.
Some 330,000 customer records and identity documents were stolen last week. In an announcement to the ASX on Monday, the financial services company warned it was bracing for the full scale of the attack to widen.
"We are likely to uncover more stolen information affecting both current and past Latitude customers and applicants," it said. Hollywood star Alec Baldwin once appeared in advertisements for the company which offers loans, insurance and credit cards.
