AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw said the agency will be holding talks with Russian law enforcement about the individuals allegedly responsible for the Medibank hack.
"It is important to note that Russia benefits from the intelligence sharing and data shared through Interpol and that comes with responsibilities and accountabilities," he said.
His message to the criminals was: "We know who you are and the AFP has some significant runs on the scoreboard when it comes to bringing overseas offenders back to Australia to face the justice system".
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw has announced the "unacceptable" cyber attack on Medibank is being carried out by individuals in Russia.
"Our intelligence points to a group of loosely affiliated cyber criminals who are likely responsible for past significant breaches in countries across the world," he said.
He said the cyber criminals are operating like a business with affiliates and associates supporting them.
Kershaw added other individuals involved in the "business" are based in other countries.
"We believe we know, which individuals are responsible but I will not be naming them," he said.
