Technical writeup

Verified company disclosure — July 15–16, 2026. Partnered Health, which operates about 57 general practice and skin cancer clinics across Australia, confirmed a malicious actor accessed clinic data on or about June 23, 2026. The Guardian (July 16) and ABC report the company said personal and health information was taken from 21 clinics across Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and other cities. Exposed categories include contact details, Medicare and health-card numbers, consultation notes, referral letters, and pathology results. Partnered Health obtained an NSW Supreme Court injunction against use/publication of accessed data. No public attested patient count at catalog time; recordsAffected remains 0 pending totals. July 30, 2026: Incransom posted a leak-site listing claiming ~3.2 TB / 17,727+ patient files and a 1999–2026 archive (see partnered-health-incransom2026). Those actor metrics remain unverified; this row stays company-confirmed without an attested patient census.

Root cause

Malicious actor accessed Partnered Health clinic data (company aware June 23, 2026); investigation ongoing; NSW Supreme Court interim injunction obtained against use/publication of accessed data
