Aleksandr Ermakov a 'known hacker' in Russian circles: Trevor Long

The man behind Medibank’s 2022 cyberattack, Aleksandr Ermakov, is a “known hacker” in Russian circles, says EFTM Editor and Tech Expert Trevor Long.

“These are basically gangs, criminal gangs that do hacking for a living,” Mr Long told Sky News Australia.

“This is behind a computer, setting out against targets to obtain data, information or ransoms.

“This is a huge, huge thing for the Australian government to simply name them.

“These sanctions should be a huge problem for the man himself.”
