    One of Australia’s leading IVF clinics is investigating a widescale cyber attack which may have leaked the information of thousands of patients.

    Genea chief executive Tim Yeoh told past and present customers of the breach on Wednesday after being notified of suspicious activity on its network.

    The company, which is one of Australia’s top three IVF providers with 21 clinics across the country, took some of its systems offline as it investigates the hack. 

    ‘We are urgently investigating the nature and extent of data that has been accessed and the extent to which it contains personal information,’ Mr Yeoh said, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

    The CEO added Genea was doing its best to ensure expecting parents’ scheduled appointments continued uninterrupted.

    ‘If you do not hear from your local Genea clinic, there is no change to your current treatment schedule,’ he said.

    ‘We sincerely apologise for any concern this incident may cause you and want to reassure you that we take your privacy and the security of your data very seriously.’

    News of the cyber attack comes just five days after Genea reported a phone outage in several of its clinics.

    The company’s website flagged the outage was an ongoing issue on Wednesday afternoon.

    A Genea spokesperson said the company is doing all it can to contain the security threat.

    ‘We are urgently investigating a cyber incident after identifying suspicious activity on our network,’ they said.

    ‘As soon as we detected the incident, we took immediate steps to contain the incident and secure our systems.

    ‘We have since engaged cyber experts to assist us with our response and investigation and we are liaising with the Australian Cyber Security Centre.’

    Daily Mail Australia has contacted Genea for comment.
