Medibank legal action to ‘test’ health privacy laws
At least 100,000 customers are chasing compensation for 'humiliation and distress'
Lawyers will chase compensation for thousands of Medibank customers in what they describe as a potential test of privacy laws around health records.
In October last year, cybercriminals threatened to publish Medibank customers’ claims data unless the health insurer paid $15.6 million — one US dollar for each customer hacked.
