He reiterated that 9.7 million customers demand $1 for each file by publishing 300 files and sensitive details of customer data they stole over the dark web known as the dark web, ABC News reported.
“SHAMEFUL”
David Koczkar, CEO of Medibank, said, “It’s a shame that stolen data is published on the dark web.” He asked to avoid downloading sensitive data of customers over the dark web or contacting hackers directly.
In September, the data of nearly 10 million customers, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, was compromised by hackers.
The company had not accepted the hackers’ demand for a $1 ransom for each of its 9.7 million customers.
The incident was the second major data theft in Australia in recent months. In August, telecommunications company Optus reported that the personal information of its 9.8 million customers had been stolen. (AA)
