Subject: Re: [IP] Feds Expose Health Records Of Evacuees Online
Words fail me. Has anyone even bothered to inform the victims that
they're about to be victimized *again* by having their personal data
exposed to anyone and everyone?
---Rsk
My understanding is that the database has been created to reconstruct
medical records for folks whose records are lost -- I understand there
are a number of healthcare situations right now where having such a
database
is essential. And note it is being made available only to health care
providers.
The larger question is "how long is the database going to exist?"
Creating it for a few weeks transition in an emergency is perhaps
an acceptable privacy risk/health reward tradeoff.
