HACKERS DEMAND $10 MILLION

HACKERS have demanded $10 million to stop leaking highly sensitive records stolen from a major Australian healthcare company, as they uploaded yet more intimate details about customers. Medibank, Australia’s largest private health insurer, confirmed this week that hackers had accessed the information of 9.7 million clients, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. On Thursday, the hackers uploaded a second batch of files to a dark web forum, with more sensitive details about hundreds of Medibank customers. Medibank has repeatedly refused to pay the ransom. |
