The message request showed up in my twitter notifications: hi There! =B i control you have some experience in getting the redress sum of attention for medicaid related data leaks. i experience found admin credentials to some super sensitive medical billing processing system and get nix but silence on all available contact channels and no litigate for months. The sender, who calls himself @SchizoDuckie on Twitter, turned out to live Jelle Ursem, an ethical researcher from the Netherlands who had previously found other leaks on GitHub that he responsibly disclosed. So now, ii months later, we are pleased to apportion you with some of his findings concerning leaks of protected health information on GitHub, and our adventures — and misadventures — in trying to get entities to respond to our attempts at responsible disclosure. in this report, you will read about nine U.S. entities’ leaks of PHI: Xybion, MedPro Billing, texas physician house Calls, VirMedica, MaineCare, Waystar, Shields Health care Group, AccQData, and one entity that we are not naming at the present time but are describing. For the 9 leaks, there were approximately 150,000 – 200,000 unique patients’ records exposed, and possibly many, many more, because Ursem did not sample or access everything that was exposed. You will also read about a developer we think of as the “Typhoid mary of Data Leaks.” We also pointedness out certain common factors that contributed to the leaks and piddle recommendations for preventing them.
