Medibank on Thursday said the latest post was "incomplete and hard to understand" — an indication the hackers may have lost interest after a ransom was taken off the table. Medibank refused to pay at the urging of the federal government, which at the height of the crisis considered making it illegal for hacked companies to hand over ransoms.
