9 News: The cyber attack on Medibank is worse than first thought, with health records and potentially credit card details exposed just a month after the Optus data breach.

While almost four million Medibank customers could be impacted. .. (A) cyber security investigator said he's not surprised by the targeted cyber attack.

Ahmed Khanji, expert: Cyber attacks are becoming the new normal

Fuck off with your New Normal. All this personal data scrapped up - that's going out there for criminals to use against you - there's no accountability, nothing that can be dome - it's due to the new normal? Don't remember reading that clause in user-agreement


Healthcare is one of the highest targeted industries by cyber criminals. Patient information is some of the most sensitive and private information available. They want to sell data that is valuable.

Yeah we all get that, but what are you doing to stop it? I can't think of a single case in Aus - or anywhere - where a major-data hacker has ever been charged.

The Optus story dropped off - the unsaid assumption is that they paid-up - guess Medibank will too - new normal-style, but the data is all still out there.
