Hackers who accessed the customer records of 9.7 million Medibank Private customers claim to have released another cache of sensitive data this morning relating to the mental health of certain policyholders.
Hackers who accessed the customer records of 9.7 million Medibank Private customers claim to have released another cache of sensitive data on Monday morning relating to the mental health of certain policyholders.
Medibank faces a fiery annual meeting on Wednesday where shareholders get to question the board members and executives about the attack.“There is some more records for everybody to know,” they wrote in a blog update. However, while CGI Glass Lewis has recommended all directors be re-elected on Wednesday to ensure the group has a stable board to respond to “rapid developments,” it flagged board renewal and executive scalps may be needed over the coming year and raised the spectre of executive pay ‘clawbacks’ to account for any shortcomings that allowed the attack to be so damaging.
The firm’s principal lawyer Andrew Watson said the breach of data was one of the most serious seen in Australia. “Some individuals are literally living in fear for their lives if their addresses are made public, others live in fear of public ridicule, the loss of their employment and relationship break ups if their sensitive medical information is made public,” Bannister said.
