Genea, one of Australia’s leading IVF providers, is conducting an urgent investigation into a cyber incident involving unauthorised access to its data. A spokesperson for the fertility clinic confirmed that “suspicious activity” was detected on their network, prompting immediate security measures to protect their systems.
As an essential service for countless patients across the nation, Genea’s response included taking several systems and servers offline to assess the situation. While some systems are being restored, the ongoing inquiry aims to determine the nature and extent of the data breach, particularly regarding any personal information that may have been compromised.
The spokesperson reassured clients of their commitment to protecting sensitive information, highlighting the importance of data security in the current climate. Genea has vowed to provide updates as more information becomes available.
