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.

U.S. unemployment rises to 4.6%, signaling labor market cooling despite November job gains and economic concerns.


The U.S. unemployment rate climbed to 4.6% in November, marking its highest level in more than four years and signalling a cooling labour market. Despite job gains during the month, broader trends suggest increasing pressure across the economy.

While 64,000 jobs were added in November, the U.S. has now shed jobs in three of the past six months. Federal government employment also fell sharply, adding to concerns about economic momentum heading into the end of the year.

With businesses showing caution around hiring, the latest data raises fresh questions about the resilience of the U.S. labour market and what comes next for workers and employers alike.

New details reveal Naveed Akram and father spent four weeks in PH before Bondi beach attacks, raising security concerns.


New details have emerged about the lead-up to the Bondi beach attacks, revealing that Naveed Akram and his father spent four weeks in the southern Philippines before the incident.

The pair travelled from Sydney on November 1, entering through Davao, a region considered relatively safe but known as a gateway to nearby extremist hotspots.

Authorities are now investigating the purpose of the trip, amid suspicions the visit may have involved contact with militant networks or training opportunities.

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.
