Australian fertility provider Genea has confirmed a significant cyberattack resulting in the potential compromise of sensitive patient data. The Termite ransomware group has claimed responsibility, alleging to have stolen approximately 700GB of confidential information after breaching Genea's systems. This data is said to include medical records, personal identifiers, and insurance details, affecting one of Australia's largest IVF providers.

Genea has acknowledged the unauthorized access and the subsequent leak of patient data on the dark web after Termite listed the firm on its site. In response, a court order was obtained to prevent further dissemination of the stolen information. The attack reportedly occurred on January 31, with the cybercriminals claiming to have exfiltrated over 900GB of data.
