Documents belonging to InHouse Physicians, a US healthcare provider that offers on-site medical services and wellness programs to organizations, have been exposed as reported by cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler.
What happened: 148,415 PDF documents totalling 12 GB were exposed. The database contained documents indicating if the person was cleared to enter an event or tested positive for COVID-19 and denied entry.
Why it matters: Documents in question included the name of the event and the phone number of the attendee along with their full name. This data exposure of COVID-19 era documents is a prime example of how healthcare organizations should prioritize auditing and reviewing what information they have stored.
