They told their therapists everything, and hackers leaked it all... (https://www.wired.com/story/vastaamo-psychotherapy-patients-hack-data-breach/?utm_source=pocket&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pockethits) A mental health startup built its business on easy-to-use technology. Patients joined in droves. Then came a catastrophic data breach.
The message in Jere’s inbox was a ransom demand (https://www.wired.com/story/hacker-threaten-release-therapy-notes-patients/). “If we receive €200 worth of Bitcoin within 24 hours, your information will be permanently deleted from our servers,” the email said in Finnish. If
Jere missed the first deadline, he’d have another 48 hours to fork over €500, or about $600. After that, “your information will be published for all to see.”
This is brutal - read the story. Ouch.
