Healthcare PSAs and BSAs

The Michigan AG office seems to list a few breaches of medical data associated with HealthCE and Welltok. I found a HIPAA Journal notification about the breach which indicates that HealthEC is the affected provider in the most recent incident. What caught my attention is that a majority of the 90 people listed as “associated” on LinkedIn are working from :india:.

While I’ve no doubt that many individual firms there are good actors, some :india: firms have, for quite some time, been doing a lot of hacking for hire. Given the current geopolitical climate, the inclination of governments on the wrong side of the :ru: :ukraine: war to sow chaos as a matter of course, and the economic incentives in a country with severe wealth inequality, outsourcing there is IMO a really bad idea.
