Hacked Medibank customer data has been uploaded to the internet because Medibank refused to pay the requested ransom.


In early Wednesday, a post appeared on the dark web - containing confidential health information from a small number of Medibank customers.

That followed Medibank's decision not to pay a ransom.

Details revealed: Client numbers, medicare numbers, names and addresses, as well as phone numbers and some health claims data.

That includes patient information about HIV Diagnosis and drug and alcohol addiction.
