Download Our Educational Cyber-Attack Timeline: Genea

Australian IVF provider, Genea, was attacked by the Termite ransomware group with attackers, allegedly, stealing 700 GB of highly sensitive patient and publishing it on the dark web. This included highly personal and confidential information of Genea's IVF patients, such as medical histories, Medicare numbers, passport data, contact details, and test results.

The attack caused significant disruption to Genea's operations, with phone lines going down and the MyGenea app becoming inaccessible, leading to patient anxiety and frustration. The breach was detected on February 14, 2025, after suspicious activity was observed on the network, but the impact quickly escalated as patients struggled to contact clinics for urgent medical inquiries and treatment plan updates.

We’ve captured everything that took place in this major healthcare data breach in our Genea Cyber Attack Timeline and Visual Summary Image.
