Overview
- Hackers using the name Kazu claim to hold about 428,000 files and are seeking a US$60,000 payment, with the threatened release now shifted to early Friday local time after no mass dump occurred on Tuesday.
- Manage My Health estimates 6–7% of its 1.8 million users were affected, with exposed documents including clinical notes, lab results, ID records and medical images that pose risks of identity theft and extortion.
- The High Court granted an injunction restricting access to or sharing of the stolen material, and posts about the hack were later removed from an account purporting to belong to the attackers.
- The company has begun providing confidential lists of impacted patients to GP practices, with coordinated direct notifications and a dedicated helpline to follow to avoid confusing multiple contacts.
- CEO Vino Ramayah said attackers used a valid user password to gain access, took responsibility for the failure, and said he is open to stepping down as police and regulators continue investigations.
