Cyber Security Minister Clare O'Neil has described the country as being "behind the eight ball" on data theft, in the wake of the Medibank breach.
It's estimated up to four million Australians could be at risk of having their data stolen following the hacking of the health insurance company.
The alleged hackers claim they have stolen 200Gb of data which includes medical history, including where medical services were received and codes relating to their diagnosis and procedures.
