SYDNEY (Reuters) - More personal details of customers of Australia's biggest health insurer Medibank Private Ltd, hit by a massive cyber attack, were released on Friday, with the company expecting this to happen daily after it declined to pay ransom to the hacker.

Health records related to mental health and alcohol use of hundreds of customers have been released in the dark web in the latest data dump after the attacker uploaded two data sets, local media reported.
