Millions of Highly Sensitive Patient Records Exposed in Medical Diagnostic Company Data Breach

In a data breach discovered by cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler, over 12 million medical records containing diagnostic scans, test results, and other sensitive information were found in a non-password protected database. The records belonged to Redcliffe Labs, an India-based diagnostic center, and included information such as patient names, doctors, and testing locations. The database also exposed development files from Redcliffe Labs' mobile application, posing potential risks for application security and user data compromise. This incident highlights the cybersecurity challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the need for robust data protection measures.
