The culprits behind the recent Medibank data breach have released more private health information on the Dark Web.
After several days of silence online the hackers released their largest batch of data to date, with up to 1469 records being exposed.
9News has chosen to keep the name of the files and the health conditions they relate to as confidential but say that the conditions were deeply personal areas of healthcare.
Currently, over 2700 records have been released with over 2500 Australian’s affected by the data breach.
Medibank has continued to reach out to the customers affected, while the AFP also continue to investigate the incident.
Medibank are sticking by their decision to not pay the hackers’ ransom, however the Cyber Security community believe the next step may be a direct consumer attack.
Individual threats for ransom or extortion have not yet been circulated but customers are still being warned to remain on high alert of potential scams.
