The randsomware seems like a side issue. Evidently, your health provider doesn't care that much about your health records. Even ignoring security issues, they had no reliable backup. A fire would have produced this result.

- jdietrich 3y agoTo be fair, a sophisticated ransomware attack is more difficult to mitigate than most data loss events. A fire won't steal your AWS credentials. Not understanding the need for backups that are both off-site and offline isn't quite the same as not caring.
- PeterisP 3y agoPerhaps, perhaps not - there are many companies which had reasonable backups which would have protected them in case of a fire, but since they were accessible remotely with administrator privileges, the ransomware operators were able to destroy the backups, as is their standard practice.
