Cerebral is next on the breach department

We talked about Good RX, better help and now its time for the article Telehealth startup Cerebral shared millions of patients’ data with advertisers.

I’ve never heard of this company, just like I had never heard of Better Help.

We talked about companies like OPM which congress slammed for their troubles in the past too. As health breaches continue to climb, its a matter of time before your own doctor will be targeted, even if they use an app that has not been targeted yet.

This is concerning as these apps can be useful to communicate with your doctor. I used mine recently to deal with some eye trouble, although if they said for me to go on in, I would have, but I made an enquiry and they did give me the medicine as I explained what was wrong.

We should keep up with these things, and if I see it, I’ll pass it along.

According to the article, this isn’t Cerebral’s first problem and if you’re using them, I’d start calling your doctor and telling them about this problem. Its huge.
