Australian IVF Provider Genea Investigates Cyberattack Compromising Sensitive Data

Genea confirms an unauthorized party accessed its network, disrupting services and raising concerns over patient privacy.

Genea, one of Australia's largest IVF providers, reported a cybersecurity breach involving unauthorized access to its data.
The breach disrupted services, including the MyGenea app, and led to phone outages at multiple clinics starting February 14.
Genea has engaged cybersecurity experts and is working with the Australian Cyber Security Centre to investigate the incident's scope and impact.
The company has not yet confirmed whether sensitive patient information, such as medical and fertility data, was compromised.
Patients have expressed concerns over treatment delays, while Genea assures minimal disruption and promises updates as the investigation continues.
