Medibank is being sued by the privacy regulator, a move welcomed by former customers and cybersecurity experts

The Australian Information Commissioner is suing health insurer Medibank over a massive data breach in 2022, where customer data was posted on the dark web following a cyber attack. The hack revealed sensitive patient information including names, addresses, and medical information. The potential fine for the breach could be up to $21 trillion, but the final amount will be determined by the Federal Court.
