The national fertility business, Monash IVF Group, which has branches in six Australian states claimed that their email system has fallen victim to a ‘malicious attack’, after false e-mails from the clinic’s account were sent out to patients.
A patient from the clinic believed the emails were sent from the company instead of scammers in the response of correspondence she had sent her clinicians about medical appointments at the clinic.
Though the company has claimed that it is working closely on the investigation and informing affected patients, patients are still not yet contacted.
