"What would you say to the person who stole your personal data, held it ransom
and posted it on the dark web?

The people behind the cyber attacks on Australia are highly organised criminal
gangs, often based in Russia, with dozens of employees and even HR departments.

Authorities are still tight-lipped about who carried out last year’s Medibank
hack that left the personal details of millions of Australians exposed on the
dark web.

However, security researchers have linked the attack to REvil — one of the most
successful cyber gangs of all time.

With the help of those researchers, we spoke to a hacker who says he’s worked
for them.

Known as “Kerasid”, he agreed to chat on an encrypted service."
