Fiona and Macca talk to Megan Prictor – Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Melbourne, MediSecure data breach: why is health data so lucrative for hackers?

The latest large-scale ransomware attack on a health technology provider, electronic prescription company MediSecure, was revealed last week.

MediSecure announced it had suffered a “cyber security incident” affecting people’s personal and health information. Details of the attack are scant. We’ve been told it stemmed from a “third-party vendor”, which means a company that provides services to another company.
