Three days later, Cybercrime Squad detectives charged a 59-year-old registered nurse following an investigation into an alleged data breach. Neither NSW Health or NSW Police have publicly verified the amount of data allegedly downloaded by the 59-year-old. When asked whether the allegedly compromised data included medical information, NSW Police directed Information Age to NSW Health.
