A leading Australian IVF clinic suspects personal patient information may have been compromised during a cyber attack earlier this month.
On February 14, Genea suspended several services and launched an inquiry into suspicious activity discovered on its network. In an update, the health service provider stated, we now believe the attacker may have accessed and stolen personal information that we hold.
“Our investigation has identified that Genea’s patient management systems, which contain information about you, was accessed by an unauthorised third party,” Genea told patients. “We stress that at this point in time it is unknown what personal information within the folders on the patient management system has been compromised.”
The patient management system includes a goldmine of information, including names, emails, phone numbers, Medicare and private health insurance details, medical history, prescriptions, test results, and doctor’s notes.
