Medibank Hacked, Customer Information Stolen
Hackers breached Medibank, Australia’s largest private health insurer. The company confirmed that an unauthorized third party accessed customer information. The breach occurred earlier this week when an unknown attacker gained unauthorized access to a Medibank system containing customer data. Investigators believe the hacker took personal information such as names, addresses, and Medicare details from approximately 1.5 million current and former customers of Medibank and its subsidiaries.
