Cyber Attacks On Americans’ Health Records Skyrocketing Since Passage Of Obamacare

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Daily Caller:

Since the shoddy launch of healthcare.gov in 2010, cyberattacks on Americans’ health records has risen “exponentially,” a Government Accountability Office report shows.

 

According to the GAO, the use of digital records allows healthcare providers to more easily share information and allow patients better access to their health data, among other advantages. However, the networks storing and sending health information in a digital format are “vulnerable to cyber-based threats. The resulting breaches—involving over 113 million records in 2015.”

 

In 2009, the number was far less with only 135,000 records breached. The number of reported hacks and breaches impacting data of at least 500 people spiked from zero in 2009 to 56 in 2015, which is nearly double from two years ago.
