Australian Clinical Labs, one of the country’s biggest private pathology companies, has revealed that 20,000 patient records from its subsidiary Medlab were leaked online earlier this year.

Another 130,000 Medicare numbers and 28,000 credit card numbers linked to patients were also revealed, although the company stressed that more than half of the credit cards were expired and just 3400 included the CVV code.
