MediSecure reveals data breach of almost 13 million Australians

MediSecure has revealed 12.9 million Australians had their data stolen in a cyber-attack in May this year. This makes it one of the largest cyber breaches in national history. The types of data stolen include patient's full names, dates of birth, home addresses and Medicare details. The E-script provider went into voluntary administration in June after the government declined to provide financial assistance.
