Stolen patient info on dark web - cyber security expert

From Midday Report, 12:45 pm on 11 October 2022

Hackers have posted stolen patient information on the dark web.

The names, addresses and other personal information of up to 450,000 people was stolen in the cyber-attack on Pinnacle Midlands Health about a fortnight ago.

It's believed the hack was a ransom attack, with data only released when the victims refused to pay.

Computer security consultant Adam Boileau joins Charlotte Cook on Midday Report to explain.
