This breach seems to be downplayed because it affects the integrity of the entire health system. If medical blood test result data ends up on the dark web, people may likely be able to look up the following about us: - if you have a condition that puts you at higher risk for receiving disability or workers compensation. - if you have been pregnant and when. - if you got tested for an STD because you thought you needed to, and the frequency of your testing. - if you have an STD and around when you contracted it. That's without getting into specifics around medications, and the greater harm of people not getting tests done because they do not trust the privacy and security of the health system. These are typical threat model use cases in health information privacy assessment and systems design. In terms of consequences, the disclosure risk of this information can break up families and households, and silently disqualify people from jobs, both of which put their kids at a long term disadvantage, destroys familial wealth and assets, and in effect impoverishes everyone involved. Once the gravity of this sinks in, I'd be concerned for the mental health of the CEO.
