    Russian hackers release ALL remaining Medibank data along with
    a vile message to 9.7million affected Australians - here's what
    you need to do now

    Australia's biggest health insurer's IT system was exposed
    to a breach by an international crime syndicate last month,
    with the crime group, known as REvil, demanding the company
    pay a $15million ransom.

    Medibank refused to meet the demand and, after weeks of
    releasing dribs and drabs of files, the hackers published
    their final - and biggest - trove of data yet on Thursday.

    . . .

    Oh SURE ... computerized med-info systems are SO great !

    And what OTHER systems where sensitive personal info
    are out there hmm ? Putin knows .......

    Here in the US we have the same problem with Google stepping in to
    authenticate access to our medical records.
