Russian hackers behind the biggest data breached in Medibank released new data records of 1500 patient of cancer, dementia, mental health conditions and infections.
“Some of the people on the list have had diagnoses that include mental illnesses, or delirium, which is an acute change in mental status that can be triggered by illness, injury, surgery, or medications,” the company said in a statement.
In a statement, Koczkar said the company was still determining the accuracy of the latest data leak, which contained about 1,500 patient files. Of those, the company said 123 records had been released in previous tranches of data.
But some previously released data had not matched the company’s records, he said, and the company’s analysis of the latest patient records showed many did not match the descriptions posted by the hackers.
“We will continue to support all people who have been impacted by this crime through our Cyber Response Support Program. This includes mental health and wellbeing support, identity protection and financial hardship measures,” Koczkar said.
