Throw another healthcare biz on the barby, mate

Australian prescriptions provider MediSecure is the latest healthcare org to fall victim to a ransomware attack, with crooks apparently stealing patients' personal and health data.

In a separate statement on Thursday, the country's top cybersecurity chief said the Australian government"continues to assist MediSecure," and that it's"still working to build a picture of the size and nature of the data that has been impacted by this data breach." We are looking closely at any evidence about whether identity documents have been compromised in the breach, and are working with MediSecure, Services Australia, and state and territory credential issuing bodies to build a full picture of the impacted dataset.
