Anthony Albanese's Personal Phone Number Leaked Online

On October 14, 2025, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's personal phone number was published online by a US-based website.
A US data company used artificial intelligence to trawl websites and compile personal phone numbers and emails, assembling the scraped material into a commercial digital directory.
The database claims to contain contact details for 300 million working professionals, including Opposition Leader Sussan Ley, Scott Morrison, former Prime Minister, Donald Trump, US President, and Emmanuel Macron, French President.
Security services have opened inquiries while affected offices seek removals, with Australian security agencies and police investigating and the US-based website offering an opt-out process promising removal within one week.
Digital rights advocates called for tighter rules to restrict personal data transfers, while LinkedIn said 'Our policies are clear that third-party companies taking personal data and using it in ways our members did not agree to is prohibited.
