The Perth man, who did not want to be named, said he was “gobsmacked” by the serious privacy breach, which included being able to view the security cameras inside a day spa where women were walking around in towels.

A Telstra spokesman confirmed this bizarre incident was being investigated and was an isolated case nationally.

After Monday’s five-hour network blackout was fixed, the Perth business owner from the north-east industrial area said he was shocked when he checked the Telstra SNP security feed for his business on his phone [...] but unexpectedly had access to the CCTV cameras of four other random businesses in and around Fremantle.

“It’s a significant privacy issue ... we’ve certainly had plenty of issues in the past with home CCTV cameras, nanny cameras, being accessed by unauthorised individuals at other locations. It just demonstrates again that with the use of technology, and particularly when you’re putting your trust in a third party to secure your data, your video, you’ve got to think very carefully about the potential implications because this kind of thing can happen.”
