What strategy is more reasonable?

What consequences does "Finland's largest psychotherapy company, Vastaamo" have to face?

> The boss of Vastaamo, Ville Tapio, was also convicted of failing to protect his customers' sensitive data.

> Investigations found that the databases were vulnerable and open to the internet without proper protections.

> He was given a suspended three-month prison sentence last year.

> The company which was once a highly regarded and successful business in Finland collapsed after the hack.

Apologies and thanks - should have read more closely.

Went bankrupt. CEO got three months of suspended sentence and had to return the millions he made selling shares of the company after the data breach but before it was known publicly.

I'm in the US, but how many noticed of data breaches I have received in the last few months from mortgage companies and so on is really staggering.

All they offer is some credit monitoring... there should be real consequences for companies or they will never prioritize keeping our data safe.

Still much preferable to an unsecured online database, no?

Not when they get lost.

While unauthorized access to therapy notes is bad, I think there's a difference in scale.

You probably don't bring all of your notes from your whole practice with you on the train to lose. If you do bring some of your notes with you and leave them on the train, there's a good chance they will be returned without being accessed by the returner, or be collected as trash, again with no access. Even if there is some access, it's less likely that they'll be widely distributed, because they'd need to be digitized or otherwise copied first, and that's a lot of effort.

If the person who picks up your notes on the train is nefarious or even maybe just curious and happens to know the people in your notes, there's potential for negative outcomes for your patients, but IMHO, the probability of a negative outcome for patients given an incident of unauthorized access is lower with paper records than digital records. I don't know if I can really opine on the probability of unauthorized access --- digital records open up the possibility of more effective controls on access than a filing cabinet; you can't audit which records were read when an authorized person opens a cabinet to get some records and looks around at others.

The likelihood of patient files being found on a train and mass exploited are really low. Most people would either try to do the right thing or just trash them. The average train rider isn’t looking to ruin someone’s day.

The same cannot be said for the average unprotected database scanner.

Please, non plus.

My first thought when I read the definition of token was - that's how they bill you :p

I just played Master of Orion (bought via GOG), which is a DOS game on DOSBox, one Wine, on Android :)

Love that game

I've always been a fan of the scale of "T-shirt size estimates"
