There are some interesting security issues in the underlying systems that pharmacies like PillPack use. Here is a security advisory for PillPack from 2015:

Basically the system that pharmacies used to transfer prescriptions isn't secure
- dmix 8y agoYou're basing this off a 3yr old security review of a 2yr old startup (at the time: founded in 2013, reviewed in 2015)? Got anything more recent? 3yrs is a lifetime in startup years. Plus they now have plenty of money to hire the best security firms to pen test their systems, plug holes, and run a serious monitoring operation.

That is something they cannot hire someone to pentest without getting all of their competitors to agree.
