Hackers claiming to have stolen reams of data from Medibank Private have threatened to sell confidential customer information, including sensitive health conditions and credit card details, unless the insurer pays it a ransom.
Medibank, which has 3.9 million customers, first disclosed the hack last week and initially said there was no evidence any sensitive customer data had been accessed. The purported threat to release sensitive customer information, including health records, represent a significant escalation in the recent wave of cyber-attacks against Australian companies.
Hackers routinely demand major ransoms for the return or deletion of stolen information but payment is no guarantee that they will follow through, given the criminal nature of their actions.
