Australians learned the scale of two major health data breaches this week, with some patients' personal information — including credit card details and test results — posted to the dark web.
On Thursday, pathology company Australian Clinical Labs revealed its subsidiary Medlab, which carries out COVID-19 testing and other services, had been hacked eight months ago — but the company is only now letting people know.
Earlier this week, Medibank Private revealed criminals had accessed the data of at least 4 million customers, including their health claims.
