The ATO did not "find" that bank account. All banks have to give that information to the ATO in the same way that ebay is required to give your details to the ATO. It has been that way for years.
I unreservedly, sincerely and completely apologise for your total lack of understanding.
There are so many errors in the last two lines of your quote, I could write an essay.
At the risk of appearing overly judgemental and before you fire off another sarcastic reply, consider an example that may assist:
- 2 people have exactly the same name. (Perhaps clones if it makes it easier for you)
- They share the same address.
- Both have a bank account with the same bank.
- They didn't supply their TFN's (that's Tax File Numbers) for whatever reason.
- What then?
You really don't get it do you?

So they were born on the same day in the same year too?
The ATO has many ways of matching data.
In the scenario you have provided I would say that if they have this problem they would be silly not to provide their TFN.
