Mike: Victim of the Manage My Heath data breach on the handling of the situation

from Holiday Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

It’s been ten days since Manage My Health was the victim of a data breach that involved over 100,000 Kiwis.  Last night the company confirmed that half of the affected patients had been contacted, leaving tens of thousands of people still uncertain.   Meanwhile, it’s been revealed that the Privacy Commission was aware of the security vulnerabilities as of six months ago.  One of those who had his data leaked, Mike told Andrew Dickens his concern is less about his medical information being leaked, but rather his personal details.  He says he’s not sure what data has been leaked, but things like his name, date of birth, NHI number, and potentially his address may all be compromised, which could be used in dangerous ways.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
