The message request showed up in my twitter notifications: Hi There! =B i see you get some experience in getting the right total of attention for medicaid related data leaks. i have found admin credentials to some super sensitive medical billing processing system and get naught but silence on all available tangency channels and no action for months. The sender, who calls himself @SchizoDuckie on Twitter, turned out to live Jelle Ursem, an ethical researcher from the nederland who had previously found other leaks on GitHub that he responsibly disclosed. so now, two months later, we are pleased to apportion you with some of his findings concerning leaks of protected health info on GitHub, and our adventures — and misadventures — in trying to get entities to answer to our attempts at responsible disclosure. in this report, you will scan about nine U.S. entities’ leaks of PHI: Xybion, MedPro Billing, tx 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 record about a developer we think of as the “Typhoid Mary of Data Leaks.” We also point out certain common factors that contributed to the leaks and make recommendations for preventing them. Great thanks to Gertrude Lok of 6500�Kelvin.nl for graciously donating her design skills to this project.
