MediMap's Director says they've traced a breach to the platform back to a profile, which has likely been compromised.  

The platform's widely used across the country, especially in aged care, disability, hospice, and community health. 

Director Geoffrey Sayer says there've been unauthorised changes to some demographic records. 

Sayer told Mike Hosking the person hasn't used brute force to infiltrate the system, they've somehow gained access. 

He says there's no reason to believe this is a cyber-attack, they've simply used credentials of an existing user to cause harm.
