A specialist pathology lab estimates 130,000 documents were hacked.

Australian Federal Police is investigating after 10 years of pathology requests, including patients’ Medicare numbers and doctors’ provider numbers, were hacked by cybercriminals.
Victorian pathology provider TissuPath says around 130,000 documents — mostly request forms scanned at the company between 2011 and 2020 — were stolen from a third-party IT supplier.
