We mentioned yesterday that whoever’s behind the Medibank hack had threatened to release customer data if the company didn’t pay a ransom. That followed Medibank boss David Koczkar’s confirmation that the health insurance company wouldn’t pay up because there was no guarantee the data would be made safe. Well, some details, including phone numbers and Medicare numbers, were released onto a dark web forum overnight. Reports say it’s “a sample”, with the hacker declaring they would “continue posting data partially, need some time to do it pretty” because it’s not in a “human readable format”. There are 9.7 million customers affected by the hack, so watch this space… And Medibank customers aren’t alone in having their information compromised. A survey by ANU says one in 3 adult Aussies has had personal data stolen in the past year. All our people are getting a password manager subscription for Christmas…
