So turns out the Medibank breach is bigger than first reported and might include all health information for their customers. It will be interesting to see if we can get hold of lessons/insights into this.
Agreed. Worryingly, the article I read seemed to suggest multiple breach points. Fingers crossed that was a lost-in-translation moment.
Have reached out through some people I know to see if we can get some lessons learned once the dust settles. Will facilitate through @mlord as it comes together.

Worrying trend of large-scale health data hacks.

The disappointing part is that the Hacks I have been told the debrief for are all about the basics not being done at all. Systems are not being kept up to date with patching. Legacy systems are being hung onto and underinvestment in critical infrastructure. There is also a lack of Digital Health in the system from clinicians to management.
We don’t need to worry about hypothetical risks when we have very real immediate issues that are causing harm to systems and people.
