    The Australian Govt: 'We can’t afford to put dental into Medicare.'
    Also the Australian Govt: 'Anyway, here is $7,000,000,000 for private health insurers so they can keep their profit margins high and their executive bonuses fat.'
    The math isn't mathing, but the lobbying sure is, welcome to capitalism for the poor, socialism for the rich.

  3. Are you fucking me right now #medibank? Are you preventing me pasting a password into the password box on your account creation screen? Seriously? This is your best practices at work?

    Pathetic.

  5. The hard-working folk of the Australian Signals Directorate, a department that rarely gets mentioned (and they like it that way) has completed a major coup ASD against the Russian group who snatched millions of records from Australia's Medibank health insurance provider a couple of years ago.

    With the help of the UK and US, they identified the major players, located the servers, and wiped out 250 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘺𝘵𝘦𝘴 of stolen data; the Australian info, and that of many more organisations.

    All gone, bye-bye. 😂

    The people who ran the show went out for a drink (Russian style, so they got blotto), and while they were in no position to respond, the ASD snuck in to their system and did the deed. The show runners are now sanctioned and on catch-and-keep lists.

    Well done, everybody!

    Love paying $80 a month for this service I have been ineligible for since May 2nd and which I have been in a never-ending cancellation request loop for. #Medibank sucks. They better refund us for this crap.

  8. Interesting. #Medibank now offers these
    telehealth services to its members. Could be useful if you're finding it hard to get a doctors appointment

  10. #Medibank is facing a potential fine of $21.5 trillion for allegedly failing to protect its customers' sensitive information in one of the country's largest #databreaches. #Hackers stole and leaked personal data, including medical records, of nearly 10 million customers to the #darkweb. Following an 18-month investigation, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner sued Medibank in the Federal Court, concluding that the company failed in its #security responsibilities. Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind states this case serves as a test and a wake-up call to businesses, emphasising their corporate and legal obligations to protect customer information.

  12. It remains to be seen whether this causes any real pain for #Ermakov
    For now it will be stoking his ego - which is probably what #hackers love best 🙄

  14. Just a quick rip for Alexander Ermakov, member of #revil going by names including blade_runner and JimJones, who has been named, shamed, and photographed (with his own webcam) by the ASD as part of their #HackTheHackers retaliatory and preemptive hacking program.

    Man was apparently involved with last years #Medibank #hack, and has been hit with magnitsky-style sanctions in both fiat and crypto currencies and assets.

    So uh, yeah: sucked in, get rekt.

    The use of the word "#scam" is appropriate.

    What if we told you the scam gets #inception-level deep. As in, while you use #AusPost your packets are decrypted by Amazo- (snip) we mean, #scamazon.

    We should also point out the #Medibank was scam'azon, also. A point conveniently omitted from all #legacyMedia coverage that happened to find us.

  17. Australians are angry with firms like #pwc #optus #telstra #medibank #riotinto and #facebook #Meta, following huge #databreache and other scandals.
    And #Qantas has fallen from one of the country's most trusted brands to one of its most distrusted.

  19. The notion that #privatising large public companies like #Qantas, #Telstra, the #CBA, #Medibank and #energy companies to crony #capitalists was ever going to benefit the #Australian public seems so deluded now, given how history has evolved.
    Privatising Qantas has to be one of the most flagrant acts of self-harm committed by any Australian government.

  21. #medibank #medibankbreach a rookie mistake of "they left this service provider running freely without checking its security practices and conducting user access reviews" and no Enforcement of MFA.
    Bloody hell... :(

  23. Fabulous. Never had an account with Medibank or AHM but still caught up in the data breach anyway thanks to an ex boyfriend from a literal decade ago adding me as a contact to his policy.

    That explains the increase in spam and phishing I’ve had recently.

    Data breaches are the sexually transmitted diseases of our time.

  24. The current Government in #Australia, having learnt nothing at all from all the recent massive #dataleaks such as #Optus or #Medibank, are now threatening online dating platforms with imposing a 100-point id system. 🤦

    This would mean they would have to collect, and keep secure 🤞 , the exact information that could be use to steal your identity.

    You cannot be more stupid, incompetent even if you try.

  26. It seems that if you ever provided your details to #Medibank, e.g. for a quote, they kept those details and are now included in the #DataLeak they suffered recently.

  27. During this weekend, #Medibank will be offline and its retails shops closed in order to undertake an 'overhaul of its cyber security systems'.

    I suppose this is not a problem. Given they already leaked the entirety of their customer data, which is doing the rounds in the #DarkWeb, you can say the data remains available in case of need during this shutdown.

  28. Climate activist Violet Coco was sentenced to 15-month jail in #Australia. Her crime was to block one traffic lane (out of 5) for 28 minutes.

    Magistrate Allison Hawkins said that the climate activist had made an 'entire city suffer' with her 'selfish emotional actions'.

    What about all the suffering caused by #Optus, #Medibank, etc. by leaking customer data? I am sure the consequences are far deeper and significant than having to wait in your car for 28 minutes. Why all those executives are not in jail?

  29. Medibank plans security overhaul during the upcoming weekend, and its systems will be offline until Monday.

    "This is a planned operation that involves IT security experts from Microsoft who are joining us in our Melbourne headquarters from across the Asia-Pacific region over the weekend. Given the complexity of the maintenance activities and the requirement to take our systems offline this operation has been in the planning stages for several weeks."
