00:00 There's been a significant data breach on this company. We do understand it to be isolated
00:04 and we don't believe it affects any other health department, any other medical provider. So
00:08 Australians can still use their scripts. If, as we investigate and continue to rapidly work across
00:14 the details of this incident, if we find that there are issues that we need to advise Australians
00:19 of personal information being exposed, we will advise that and provide a pathway to rectify and
00:24 support those individuals. There are plenty of things that every Australian can do. We have an
00:28 Act Now Stay Secure campaign at the moment. Update your passwords, multi-factor authentication,
00:34 update your software, complex passwords. But we'd be naive to think that we won't continue to be
00:39 targeted and a big part of that is ensuring that we as a nation are resilient and ready to respond.
00:44 We have convened the National Coordination Mechanism and we're working every opportunity
00:48 that we have to understand and prepare to respond to any such breach.
