Healthcare needs to watch and learn from the cascade of security failures

“Wikileaks is the big news today. This blog article has NOTHING to do with WikiLeaks, but has everything to do with using the event which are associated with WikiLeaks today as a useful use-case to analyze in the context of Healthcare Security and Privacy.
It scares me that someone might think that exposing PHI on WikiLeaks would be an appropriate way to ‘expose’ a healthcare abuse. As much as the current exposure of the diplomatic cables has resulted in mostly embarrassing gossip, exposing PHI would be far more dramatic. The methods that WikiLeaks seems to use don’t give me any comfort that exposure of PHI might not happen. I hope that it would not. But this is not what I want to cover here.”
