How Hackers Are Selling Your Therapy Session Transcripts

Episode 50 of The Privacy Podcast examines the alarming trade in confidential therapy session data on the dark web. Lucas and Luna discuss a 2025 breach at a major telehealth platform that exposed thousands of patient transcripts, and how poorly secured mental health apps are becoming prime targets for cybercriminals. They explore the legal gaps in HIPAA and GDPR when it comes to psychotherapy notes, and what the proposed federal Mental Health Privacy Act aims to change. This episode includes a specific walkthrough of how stolen therapy data is priced and sold—often for as little as $50 per transcript—and what you can do to protect your digital privacy when seeking care online. #TherapyData #TelehealthBreach #MentalHealthPrivacy #DarkWeb #HIPAA #GDPR #CyberSecurity #PsychotherapyNotes #DataBrokers #PatientPrivacy #HealthPrivacy #DataBreach #TechEthics #PrivacyRights #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #PrivacyPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
