This morning the people or person behind the Medibank cyber attack took to their dark web forum to release yet more personal health details of Australians obtained when they stole millions of records from Medibank last month.
Having released information last Monday and foreshadowing their attention to the Medibank Annual General Meeting, the hacker missed their own deadline of releasing more information on Friday, and this morning uploaded four new files to the Dark Web.
The files contain 55, 814, 623 and 4 records – and are each purporting to be specific health conditions of those users. EFTM chooses not to publish the names of those files, or the health conditions allegedly involved.
This release takes the total number of records to over 2,700 released by the hackers, though Medibank has previously confirmed some individuals details are present in multiple files, EFTM believes over 2,500 Australians would be affected by these leaks.
Medibank continues to offer support to customers and has told EFTM previously they are reaching out to those who have had their details released on the Dark Web to offer additional support.
Australian Federal Police are confident they know who’s behind the hack, though we’re unsure what the likelihood of arrest is.
