The purported Medibank hacker has released a sample of the user data obtained in the cyber attack on the healthcare giant.

At 2am today (AEDT), they posted some details including phone numbers and Medicare numbers to a dark web forum, a day after threatening the data would be released in 24 hours.

The purported hacker updated their earlier dark web post, which had a Confucius quote and a meme featuring Super Mario characters.

“Looking back that data is stored in not very understandable format (tables dumps) we’ll take some time to sort it out and we posting a small part of the data, in ‘human readable format (sample in json file )’ also we post all raw data,” the hacker wrote.

“We’ll continue posting data partially, need some time to do it pretty.”

Included in the post is a dark-web link to some files, which 9News has sighted and which appear to include valid details of Australians and their healthcare interactions.

9News will not publish this information.
