A notorious Russian ransomware gang which infiltrated one of Australia's largest law firms has now targeted a string of Victorian businesses, including a pathology company.
Russian hackers have claimed they are behind a series of cyber attacks on a number of Victorian companies, and say they have stolen at least 4.95 terbytes of dataSome of the companies affected say they are communicating with their clients about the reported breach, but at least one has disputed the hackers' claims and says it has not been impacted
"Your clients will be offered the option to pay a fee for the removal of their data from the public leak. You still have a chance to prevent a catastrophe," they said.It is unclear what type of data the hackers claim to have, but TissuPath, the pathology company, said patient names, dates of birth, contact details, Medicare numbers and private health insurance details were exposed.
"Importantly, TissuPath's main database and reporting system that stores patient diagnoses was not compromised. Further, we do not store patient financial details and other personal information documents, such as drivers licence numbers.
