According to the reporter of Iran’s Economist International Economy, quoted by Reuters, Australia’s Medibank, which is the largest health insurer in the country, announced today that it does not intend to pay ransom to the cybercriminals who stole the information of 9.7 million customers of this bank.

Medibank has confirmed that the names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers and emails of 9.7 million customers of the bank were stolen in a cyber attack.

In general, recently we have seen an increase in cyber attacks in Australia, as the government of this country reported that a cyber attack happens in this country every 7 minutes.

David Kuczkar, CEO of Medibank, says: Based on the advice provided by experts Protection team At Cyber, we believe that if we pay cyber attackers a ransom, there is a small chance that they will not release our customers’ information and give it back to us.

Kuzkar added: If we give ransom to hackers, this issue can make them extortion direct from customers and tap more people to encourage.
