St Vincent’s unable to confirm if medical records stolen
One of Australia’s largest health networks that was the target of a cyber security breach has no idea whether hackers stole private medical data almost a week after the attack.
St Vincent’s hospital on Monday confirmed it did not know whether sensitive health records had been taken, sparking concern the organisation had failed in its duty to protect sensitive patient information.
The Australian understands all the data stolen in the attack happened last Tuesday. It took another day for the health provider to brief Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil and the incident was not publicly announced until Friday. Anthony Albanese had not received a briefing on the incident when he conducted a press conference in Cairns on Friday.
