"Calling FOIA 'one of the most important tools citizens can use to hold their government accountable,' [Secretary of State Jocelyn] Benson said the new online portal would make document requests easier and the results more accessible than they’ve ever been. In fact, she said once a FOIA request has been made, many of the responsive documents will be publicly available on the department’s website. "
This is sadly tolerated because the US doesn't have a single #privacy and #transparency law in the books (at least in the federal level). Plus #HIPPA is toothless in these cases since companies and law enforcement find loopholes to get around HIPPA.
It's showing up as a claim on BianLian's site. I think @amvinfe is still trying to get BianLian to provide some proof of claims.
Akumin is not doing itself any favors by ignoring multiple inquiries about this. They should either deny it or say they are investigating or ... something. But sticking your head in the sand and not answering at all is not a good look.
It seems pretty clear from what BianLian has posted that there were TWO unrelated attacks, but Akumin has only disclosed the first attack -- even though it has issued updates since the time of the second attack.
That said: if the second attack was in November, as it allegedly was, then Akumin is still within a 60-day window from discovery to when it must notify HHS and affected patients.
But if an entity issues a press release or update that discloses one data breach but is silent on the fact that there was a second breach, too, resulting in the theft of patient data, is that a deceptive or unfair act under Section 5 of the FTC Act?
'The agency manages nearly $100 billion in public employee retirement funds. Around 400,000 public workers are beneficiaries. It means Oregon is a shareholder in publicly traded companies around the world. Previously, if you wanted details on how Oregon used its shareholder votes, you’d need to make a public records request. State Treasurer Tobias Read said now, all that is online.'
“The political climate we’re dealing with around #elections is so hostile that it is hard to do anything positive because of this unsupported narrative of fraud.”
Q: "The school year got off to a rough start due to the ransomware attack. Schools were closed for a few days and the computer systems were down and it came out that some data was compromised. What is your approach to cybersecurity going forward and do you think this incident will have any kind of ongoing impact?"
A: blah, blah (we take your privacy and security seriously). Also: "Nobody did anything wrong, there wasn't anything short-sighted here in any way shape or form."
He says, "Nobody did anything wrong, there wasn't anything short-sighted here in any way shape or form." Are we supposed to just take his word for it when the district has not been transparent and hasn't disclosed how the breach occurred?
High-ranking members of Atlanta’s police department have been using Signal, an encrypted phone app, to communicate about the controversial police and fire department training center known as “Cop City” – to each other, to other police departments and to companies involved in building the project, the Guardian has learned...
The listing for plastic surgeon Dr. Jaime Schwartz has reappeared on the Hunters International leak site. Dr. Schwartz has not responded to multiple inquiries since October about this incident and there is no substitute notice or statement on his website -- even though patient data was already being leaked.
"It’s disappointing how often the major parties vote together to stop Australians knowing more about what actually happens in government."

It seems that Alphv (BlackCat) has re-encrypted Henry Schein, Inc. again. This appears to be the third time the TAs have locked the firm.
People may remember BlackCat's post ranting about Coveware and their alleged advice to Henry Schein that led to BlackCat re-encrypting Schein the first time.
On November 22, the firm announced another disruption.
