When these sorts of health breaches make the news, I’m reminded of my favorite dataset! The archive of https://ocrportal.hhs.gov/ocr/breach/breach_report.jsf https://ocrportal.hhs.gov/ocr/breach/breach_report.jsf. Hope it’s as interesting to you all as it has been for me :) This case won’t make it into the database since it doesn’t impact US-based consumers, but in general these kinds of breaches are (tragically) very common, and remarkably well-documented. Ultimately, this page is very convincing evidence for the often-touted idea that your SSN is effectively in the public domain. The most common errors include sending report-containing emails to the wrong addresses, and leaving networks open with default access credentials.
