Medibank hackers say they’ve released all of the stolen data as investigations continue

The Russian Medibank hackers have dumped the single biggest amount of private information online.

The group says this is the entire lot of the stolen data.

November 30 is ‘International Cyber Security Day’ and the date chosen by the hackers to release this information.

In a post, the group, known as REvil, said ‘Happy Cyber Security Day’.

The file totals 6.5 gigabytes. Medibank is now working through it all to confirm it is in fact the information that was stolen from the company servers.

At this stage it does seem likely.

But the task has been made more difficult by the fact that the hackers have failed to match some of the information with the names of customers, as they did on previous occasions.

REvil were demanding $15 million in ransom for the stolen data.

At least 9.7 million Australians have been impacted by the breach, which all began back in early November.

There’s been a range of sensitive information released over the past few weeks, including mental health and drug addiction records.

Medibank customers are being told to be on the lookout for scams, particularly via phone and email.

Albanese distances from Chalmers’ tax proposal on superannuation, amid rising concerns over voter sentiment and retirement savings.


Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has moved to distance himself from Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ proposal to increase taxes on high-balance superannuation accounts, signalling internal caution as cost-of-living pressures remain front of mind for voters.

The rejection highlights growing sensitivity around retirement savings, with critics warning that changes to super could undermine confidence in the system and spark broader political fallout ahead of future budget negotiations.

As debate continues inside government, questions remain over how Australia balances revenue needs without alienating voters or destabilising long-term savings policy.

U.S. vows to defend Ukraine, seeks Senate approval; Berlin talks advance peace while weighing sovereignty against conflict resolution.


The United States has pledged to protect Ukraine from future Russian attacks, signaling strong support for European security. Washington will also seek Senate approval for its proposed role in the region, highlighting its commitment to defending allies and deterring further aggression.

In Berlin, talks between U.S., Ukrainian, and European leaders have reportedly made significant progress, with discussions focusing on security guarantees and potential frameworks for a peace deal with Russia. Territorial concessions remain a major sticking point, with negotiators carefully weighing Ukraine’s sovereignty against the urgency of ending the conflict.

U.S. officials emphasize that while they hope for a resolution by year-end, they are not applying undue pressure on Ukraine. Proposed security guarantees could include weapons provisions and monitoring mechanisms, echoing NATO’s collective defense commitments, in an effort to strengthen Ukraine’s negotiating position.
