Nearly 10 million customers affected by ransomware attack on Medibank

Australia’s biggest health insurer, Medibank Private Ltd. said that data of around 9.7 million current and former customers was compromised in the recent cyber attack on its systems, Reuters reported. Meanwhile, the insurer said that it will not pay any ransom to the hackers as the chances of retrieving data were low and there were high chances that the hackers could further extort money from customers directly.
