Сhecking for leaked data without storing any

this is kinda wierd...someone in my house has been affected by the leak. So i typed in their name. And it says they're not in the leak. 3 other people in my house including me have apparently all bean leaked according to this site. So, either this resource doesnt work, or medibank is not being forthcoming in a timely manner as to who is being affected. I hope they get sued to oblivion for this.

Does anyone know what one is specifically to do about their home address when it is leaked? It's easy to change emails, mobile numbers and so on...but...home addresses...not so easy.

EDIT: im guessing 1 piece of the puzzle (an address) with all the other things changed should be OK? who knows...

It seems the hackers published only a part of the stolen data.

The same situation here: several people on the same card, some are in the leak and some not.

this is so infuriating, i'm going to change all my details, but to what end? Optus, and Medibank have had leaks...so its a matter of time until this happens again - then what? i change my mobile number/email addresses...again?

The best solution is a single government database of details that companies use to validate the personal data once and with the customers' permission. And this database should be protected better that the PM.

Will the government step up, though? I have some doubts.

This would be great. My fear is that the companies will ask for 5-10 years for migrating to this technology.

We will see. I hope I am wrong.
