Gordon Legal commenced an investigation into the Dymocks data breach in 2023.
Dymocks says it became aware of the data breach on 6 September 2023.
In September 2023, Gordon Legal lodged a representative complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAICon behalf of our client and other persons impacted by the data breach.
On 28 May 2024, the OAIC informed us that Gordon Legal’s representative complaint has been accepted as being a valid complaint. This is the first step in the OIAC representative proceeding process.
On 4 September 2026, the OAIC informed us that its current view is not to investigate the complaint. After reviewing that position and the information available, our representative complainant has decided not to make further submissions to OAIC or to instruct us to continue investigating a potential class action.
We will contact registrants directly with further information.
