Customer data from Australian health insurance company Medibank has been uploaded to the dark web after hackers managed to steal it.
This information belongs to 9.7 million present and former customers, and includes sensitive information such as birth dates, addresses, and Government ID numbers.
In addition, the hackers have also posted information relating to medical procedures primarily linked to high risk first trimester pregnancies.
Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson explained what other types of private medical information the hackers may try to weaponize and how the Australian Government can proceed with helping the affected customers.
