The hacking of Medibank customers' data has been labelled a "dog act" on Q+A, but the national cybersecurity advisor to former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says sometimes companies should consider paying ransoms to hackers to protect customer information.
The hackers said they have demanded $15.09 million in ransom not to release stolen customer information including sensitive information of customers' medical procedures, including data related to hundreds of customers who had a pregnancy terminated.
