Name and address is in the roll. DOB absolutely is not.

Further, suggesting the blame lies with companies accepting "insufficient forms" of authentication obviously does not bear up in light of this. 2FA texts, for example, are easily worked around by SIM-swapping. Performing a SIM-swap in Australia generally does not require 2FA, and the details leaked herein would get you well on your way.

Ack. Still, the DOB is not difficult to access: just apply to work for the AEC and your copy of the roll certainly includes DOB.
