With all of the recent breaches in the health care industry, HHS and OCR only have really delbt with one company with one particular situation. What does that show us?
In this podcast, we explore a Databreaches article that talks about this.
Besides that, we have two things to ponder, news, notes and much more.
For those that don’t have RSS we have the 165.8mb file for download.
This is probably the last program of the year, but please stay tuned, there is a possibility of a taping or end of year wrapup show, but nothing is set in stone.
Now, without any further ado, here are the notes for this program. Thanks so much for listening and see you next time!
Hello folks, welcome to podcast 173. This is going to be the last podcast of the year as it comes to live programming. Don’t worry, we’ll continue to blog things of importance, and I’ll look through our podcast notations for some good things and put out a final podcast of the year. Our next live program will be on January 3, 2024. On this edition of the program, we’ll have our news and notes segments, the moron, two things to ponder which are extended versions and of course our topic dealing with the HHS and their fine on an agency who got breached.
Our Things to Ponder
We have two things to ponder segments and both are extended versions and information packed. The first one is being cross posted through this podcast and our Security Hour which may air it any time it wishes. The segment talks about 1 in 4 people falling for scams and getting in to trouble. Besides falling for scams, there is one thing most people don’t do and it’ll shock you. Read More on the tech blog with the blog post titled 1 in 4 fall for scams to learn what is going on and what is recommended. The second talks about a very interesting email I got and how it could actually fool someone. At recording time, the domain was unreachable, although the group was given a different file which could not be resurrected for airplay here. Here is the blog post titled Did you think you were going to get me? You’ve got to try harder if you wish to read it. It too, will be crossposted, but I didn’t mention that here.
This is a complete set of morons
Our set of morons are completely interesting. They thought they’d steal a car, taking everything from one person, but yet doing something that they weren’t expecting. These guys were expecting an Iphone, found an Android and handed it back. They still took the car and possibly other items. Read the blog post with the accompanying article. You won’t believe this one. Or will you?
Our Topic: HHS settles with ransomware case
You must be kidding me, right? Lots of breaches, ransomware cases and the like yet the HHS doesn’t do much to enforce anything in my opinion. We have several articles on the HHS settling in certain cases like the Ransomware we’re talking about today, or the HIPPA violations in another case, but most of the time its unchecked.
This week, HHS announces settlement on ransomware case is our article. It is a good start, but as we’ve said, there have been a lot more. Let us know what you think.
