Over in Australia, private health insurer Medibank is dealing with the fallout from being hacked.

Yesterday, Medibank were staunchly against paying a ransom to the hackers who had stolen sensitive information from 9.7 million customers. This data includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth.

Since then, the hackers have issued a threat that they'll release all this sensitive customer data within 24 hours.
