The hacker claiming to be behind the Medibank data breach has followed through on threats to release information.

At least 200 lines of information, including where people had treatment and what they received, were released on the dark web in the early hours of this morning.

The purported hacker updated their earlier dark web post, which had a Confucius quote and a meme featuring Super Mario characters.

“Looking back that data is stored in not very understandable format (tables dumps) we’ll take some time to sort it out and we posting a small part of the data, in ‘human readable format (sample in json file )’ also we post all raw data,” they wrote.

“We’ll continue posting data partially, need some time to do it pretty.”

It’s not known how much data the hackers are willing to release or if they are making additional ransom demands of Medibank.
