Major data breach on healthcare provider

A medium-sized Australian health provider has suffered a significant ransomware data breach, leading to a coordinated response by the government. The Australian Cyber Security Centre and Federal Police are investigating, though details are currently limited. Federal authorities confirmed that public health systems and hospitals are unaffected. It remains unclear which company was hit. In 2022, health insurance giant Medibank experienced a major cyber attack affecting 9.7 million people’s personal details.
