Sensitive health data from Medibank, including information about abortions, has been posted on the dark web, prompting the minister for home affairs, Clare O’Neil, to pledge police would track down the “scumbags” behind the hack.
On Thursday morning, on a dark web blog linked to the REvil Russian ransomware group, the attacker posted a file labelled “abortions” alongside claims they had sought US$10m from Medibank to prevent the leak of the data.
