Share:Amid a standoff between hackers and an insurance company, data of around 10 million customers, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, has been compromised in Australia. Medibank Private Limited, also known simply as Medibank, has admitted “data of 9.7 million past and former customers was breached when hackers gained access to a database,” ABC News reported. I am a Medibank Private customer as well and it will be of concern that some of this information has been put out there,” Albanese told a news conference. Medibank refused to accept ransom demands of the hackers and warned it expected further data leaks, available on darkweb, from the cybercriminals. We are concerned and we will continue to monitor what is occurring,” the prime minister said.
