A class action against Medibank was filed in the Federal Court of Australia today.
Medibank understands that these proceedings have been brought on behalf of current and former customers in relation to the cybercrime event Medibank has previously reported and are being brought by Baker & McKenzie and funded by Omni Bridgeway.
The statement of claim includes allegations of breach of contract, contraventions of the Australian Consumer Law, and breach of equitable obligations of confidence.
Medibank will defend the proceedings.
Medibank continues to support its customers from the impact of the cybercrime through our previously announced Cyber Response Support Program which includes mental health and wellbeing support, identity protection and financial hardship measures.
