Hackers leaking medical records stolen from a major Australian healthcare company said Thursday they are demanding $10 million to make it stop, about a dollar for each of their potential victims.
Medibank earlier this week confirmed the hackers had accessed information belonging to 9.7 million current and former clients, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Medibank on Thursday confirmed an "additional file" believed to contain customer data was uploaded to a "dark web" forum overnight."Society ask us about ransom, it's 10 million USD," the anonymous hackers posted on the forum."The release of this stolen data on the dark web is disgraceful," chief executive David Koczkar said Thursday.
Medibank is Australia's largest private health insurer and the hack is likely to include some of the country's most influential and wealthy individuals.
