It will be interesting to see once they reveal the locations of who made the hack.
It’s a sorry state of affairs in this nation when the first thing I think of is “false flag”...

4 years ago Columbia Presbyterian settled with HHS for $4.8m following the release of 6600 records under HIPAA. At $705/case, this would mean $56.4T fine for this HIPAA violation.

CyberSecurity is a great field to go into. There is an enormous need for it, the need will only grow, and on the whole, neither government nor business has a really good handle on it. Such a huge hole that needs to be filled.
And it's somewhat unlikely that the security work will be off-shored to China or anywhere else.

Most of the time somebody bribes an employee for a password. Not really high tech at all.

"4 years ago Columbia Presbyterian settled with HHS for $4.8m following the release of 6600 records under HIPAA. At $705/case, this would mean $56.4T fine for this HIPAA violation." Hospitals and health insurers maintain "liability" insurance to cover expenses and penalties regarding data breaches. Aside from meeting minimal safeguards required by the insurance underwriters, many entities consider this just a normal cost of doing business and make no great effort to secure their data bases. That costs more money than buying the insurance coverage. Welcome to the brave new world -- all your data are belong to us!

Why do all our activities in life revolve around a number that is held by multiple third parties that are linked to our financial accounts?

I have said for years the cloud is a farce. If you don’t physically control your data it is not your data.
To: Resolute Conservative
Agree 100%.
BTW -- the US military is actively moving to put more of their mission critical data in the cloud. But don't worry. They're gonna be super careful. [/s]

80 million people? That’s almost one out of every four Americans, nationwide. And with 0bamacare’s level of cybersecurity, why even bother?

So we can be easily controlled by fear.
We are to be reduced to nothing BUT a number.
What would happen if we didn’t have a number?
Are we free and independent?
