Cybercriminal holding customers data from Australian health insurer for ransom
Fox News
A cybercriminal is holding customer data from Medibank, an Australian health insurer, for ransom. Trading of Medibank shares has been halted since Wednesday.
Medibank, which has 3.7 million customers, said on Thursday the criminal had provided a sample of 100 customer policies from a purported haul of 200 gigabytes of stolen data.
Details included customer names, addresses, birth dates, national health care identification numbers and phone numbers.
Cybersecurity Minister Clare O’Neil said most concerning was that records of medical diagnoses and procedures had also been stolen.
