Cybercriminals have managed to hack into the database of Australia’s largest not-for-profit health and aged care provider, forcing authorities to scramble to figure out the details of the incident.

On Dec. 22, St Vincent’s Health Australia, which operates 10 private hospitals and 26 aged-care facilities across New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, announced that it discovered a hack a few days earlier.
