HHS OCR settles charges that Inmediata Health Group was exposing patient protected health info online for 3 years due to a webpage error.

Inmediata previously settled a class action lawsuit stemming from the 2016-2019 leak. They also settled a lawsuit by 33 state attorneys general last year. The HHS OCR settlement was for $250k monetary penalty; no corrective action plan was needed since the states' settlement already included a corrective action plan.

Inmediata even had trouble with their incident response, as noted on my blog at the time: databreaches.net/2019/04/30/in

Bolton Walk-In Clinic in Ontario: lock down your backup already!

DataBreaches hates reporting on an incident when the entity has not yet secured misconfigured storage, but after four months of futile efforts to get a Canadian clinic to respond to responsible disclosures, maybe publication will help get them off the dime.

Do any personal injury lawyers in Ontario, Canada, or folks in the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario follow me? Maybe they can get something done.

If you ever registered with Alltech Consulting Services while seeking employment, you might want to read a report on a leak/misconfiguration incident they had. From the reporting:

"The non-password-protected database contained a total of 2,317,157 records. The folder labeled as Documents enclosed the PII of an estimated 216k job seekers, including names, phone numbers, email addresses, the last four digits of their SSN, passport numbers, and whether they had a work authorization visa. The records also contained internal notes about their experience, qualifications, and type of job they are looking for."
