Got another evasive e-mail from #managemyhealth, who appear unwilling to tell me what of my personal information they hold. Or, more likely, not intelligent enough to understand that I want a list, not directions to mess around with their website.

Privacy Commissioner launches inquiry into Manage My Health data breach The privately run patient portal used by some general practices detected the breach in the early hours of December 31.

Privacy Commissioner opens official inquiry into #ManageMyHealth fiasco.
@sgowsmith1988.bsky.social

NZ Privacy Commissioner announces inquiry into #ManageMyHealth #DataBreach and #privacy issues. Inquiry will look at what's needed to prevent such an incident in future.

IMHO that sh'd include policy settings + what actions by NZ Gov't + #HealthNZ are needed.

Manage My Health ignored warning about lax security system - cyber-security expert IT experts allege the health portal ignored warnings about vulnerabilities for years - but the regulatory vacuum meant it wasn't required to take action.

"Health services that have this information and these functions should be subject to the same scrutiny and compliance requirements and auditing as financial institutions." ...

'However, a [Te Whatu Ora] spokesperson indicated oversight could be introduced in future.'

Jam tomorrow.

Stakes are high in Manage My Health breach fallout Opinion from Victoria University: Public trust in digital health services is difficult to build and easy to lose.

'The underlying principle is simple: when people feel a sense of ownership over their data, trust becomes easier to maintain.'

The #ManageMyHealth fiasco is a chance to insist on patient-centred consent and access control, to earn trust.

I’ve never hated a word more than I hate the word “reasonable”, as it applies to laws governing this breach. One of the times I managed to login, I noticed 198+/- files have just disappeared. Which, I have to say, produces a dark sense of foreboding from within... #ManageMyHealth #nzpol

Useful context, delivered straight.
#ManageMyHealth

A meme showing a partially collapsed building being propped up by wooden beams. Text over the image reads “The entire legal system” above the building and “The word ‘reasonable’” below it. A label over the top left corner reads “New Zealand.”

Since we’ve all just found out how toothless the privacy and medical information legislation is in New Zealand I bring you this meme:

Have a poke around the MMW site 🔽. They've even sorted out the T&Cs!

Ugh. Just got an email from MMH to say my data was compromised. When I looked, the only doc in the affected module was ADHD related so, other than the identifying info, not particularly sensitive. 😡 #MMH #ManageMyHealth

What is the "right thing"?

Vino can't turn back time and fix years of neglect.

Sure he could resign as CEO but that wouldn't fix the problems. He owns #ManageMyHealth company and is on its governance board. Resigning as CEO would mean one less problem FOR HIM but no gain for anyone else.

Obligations to properly manage health information do not go away when a short-term commercial arrangement ceases.

Original post on mastodon.nz

So the privacy-conscious management of #ManageMyHealth waited SIX ENTIRE DAYS before notifying *some* of their customers about the breach.

"The horse has escaped!"

"Eh, let's give it a week and then let its owners know. And then we can figure out how to put the barn door back on its hinges." […]

This is not good. Devs breaking things while trying to fix other things?

Vino Ramayah owns #ManageMyHealth. He may be acting clueless but he's an experienced tech entrepreneur and investor. Is he being real? Even if he resigns as CEO he's still responsible. He may even benefit if Ministry of Health pays to fix the problems.

Injunction by NZ High Court re #ManageMyHealth #DataBreach aka hack is now online too

Ex-users' data may have been stolen in Manage My Health breach People whose GPs no longer use Manage My Health could still have had their data stolen.

"I would encourage everyone to consider security as a very key part of your thinking, especially when you put sensitive information in an application.."

You first, Vino

'I do it for the money': Hacker claims to be behind health data breach 'Don’t worry, this will be over soon,' the person identifying as the hacker Kazu said.

Top journalist David Fisher talked with the #ManageMyHealth hacker.

Couldn't see any #ManageMyHealth 2FA UI before today, but now I can and have set it up. The enrolment flow seems mostly competently done (surprisingly) and it's now active on my account. Except:

• the iOS app doesn't bother checking 2FA 🤷
• recovery codes mix 1 and letter I in the same positions 🙄

Manage My Health hack could re-traumatise sexual violence, family harm victims More than 400,000 Manage My Health files were taken in the cyber attack.

Correct.

Am interested to hear which team/s in the New Zealand government were meant to be ensuring standards compliance for MMH.

Manage My Health CEO: 'Trust us even though we've dropped the ball' The chief executive of beleaguered patient portal says he is open to standing down if required.

Far out this is extraordinary. I will be downloading all my info from #ManageMyHealth because I can’t see this being a tenable business when the review is done. www.rnz.co.nz/news/alert-t...
