Tens of thousands of Australians are at risk of computer fraud because their personal information is being made available illegally by workers inside call centres based in India.

Tonight's Four Corners program reveals a black market in information held by Indian call centres.

The program was offered ATM numbers, passport numbers and credit card details on thousands of Australians.

The information means hackers could assume the identity of Australians online.

Dianne Poole, who is one of the thousands of Australians whose details are up for sale, says the revelation leaves her feeling vulnerable.
