Australia has imposed sanctions on a Russian individual, Aleksandr Ermakov, for his alleged involvement in the 2022 Medibank cyberattack, marking the first use of new international powers. Ermakov has been linked to the attack, which resulted in the private health details of 9.7 million Australians being published on the dark web. The sanctions include a travel ban and targeted financial measures, making it a criminal offense to provide assets to Ermakov. The Australian government has stated that there are consequences for targeting Australia and Australians, and it will continue to hold cybercriminals accountable.
