That person is a relatively recent recruit from the Bank of England. That may save him. I think it will largely depend on how he handles this incident, rather than be responsible for letting the incident happen in the first place.

Their old CISO left in August, and only updated his Linkedin profile to say so a few days ago...after the hack!

I think the OAIC can issue penalties. https://www.oaic.gov.au/about-us/our...ivil-penalties

And being a publicly listed company, I think ASIC may be able to apply some form of penalty as well.
