A hack is "troubling", and you deal in healthcare? I work in med-tech. If my hosting service was hacked and PHI potentially exposed, we'd have finished migrating away within a week. If your concern is only a business agreement to limit liability, do you mind sharing your product so I can never use it?
- ryanlol 10y agoIn Linodes case it's not about "a hack" it's about at least 4 hacks within the past 5 years. http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/03/bitcoins-worth-228000-stolen-from-customers-of-hacked-webhost/ http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/03/bitcoins-worth-22800... https://blog.linode.com/2013/04/16/security-incident-update/ https://blog.linode.com/2013/04/16/security-incident-update/ https://blog.linode.com/2014/01/19/an-old-system-and-a-swat-team/ https://blog.linode.com/2014/01/19/an-old-system-and-a-swat-... https://blog.linode.com/2016/01/05/security-notification-and-linode-manager-password-reset/ https://blog.linode.com/2016/01/05/security-notification-and... I'm not even sure if they ever figured out the last one. So yeah, hopefully ryebit was just kidding.
- ryebit 10y agoLuckily, we don't deal with patient records or related PHI; which lowered concerns to the "BAA is sufficient" level. If I was running an EMR or such, I'd want the servers in a colo, with gated physical access, and contracts signed in blood of the each person's firstborn :)
