Sensitive NDIS health data breached in client platform hack. By Denham Sadler, InnovationAus

Following the CTARS data breach involving thousands of NDIS participant records, I was interviewed by InnovationAus. Justin Warren, the Chair of Electronic Frontiers Australia was also interviewed.

Here’s an excerpt from my interview:

There is now an ‘extreme level of risk’ in terms of identity theft and fraudulent claims by providers and imposters using the leaked data…

‘Data breaches create serious risk of harm – for people who are already suffering from these defective systems,’ Ms Johnson told InnovationAus.com.

‘This is like having the My Health Record on the dark web. The individual has very little power – and people’s identity would be compromised. There is no way that this can’t be the case. And people won’t know that it has happened. These are the most vulnerable at-risk people.’
