Australia makes more of a public show of its cybersecurity incidents than many countries. Over the past few weeks Australian IVF clinic Genea announced that it has been hacked. Exposing the PII of patients, taking phone systems off line, and impacting patient services. https://lnkd.in/epXgvauBWhile it’s admirable to seek an injunction against the hackers that stole the data, other than following the motions and registering the hack and its effects.
