The Manage My Health breach wasn’t a tech failure, it was a policy failure. This column traces how 30 years of privatisation, light-handed regulation and “high-trust” governance left NZ’s most sensitive health data in private hands, with no real oversight: www.democracyproject.org.nz/p/democracy-...

Why don’t we have a single, secure, government-run system for health records?

By using ManageMyHealth, you agreed to the obligation from them to notify them by email if you learn of a security breach related to ManageMyHealth.
The same MMH terms of use also require the *user* to *notify ManageMyHealth" if the learn of a security breach of MMH. You'd think it would be the other way around, but apparently not.
(My support case for notifying them they were breached is CAS-2597956, if anyone wants to reference that 😉)

I just got a group ManageMyHealth notification, apparently there's been a Cyber Incident!?! My name is missing from the automated message and there's no information. I have to log in to ManageMyHealth to read a message to find out what's going on 😬

MediMap just as bad as ManageMyHealth then. Thought so.
I'm not sure where this ended up.
Christchurch High Court says they have no records of it, Wellington redirected me to Christchurch (referring me to High Court rules) and I haven't heard back from Auckland
MediMap said they got granted an injunction on Saturday

Brown is a dick.
Brown is incompetent.
Brown is trying to to get ManageMyHealth off the hook by pretending network security is a new & surprising thing.
It’s not.
Fact: ManageMyHealth were charging $$ to keep your data SECURE. They failed. They are 100% culpable.

I hate this from Brown. A ‘wake up call’ implies this is something new or unforeseen when in reality it is not and any entity, public or private, holding such sensitive data, should have prioritised not just security but regular security testing/auditing as a necessary cost of business.

At last, an email from my medical centre about the data breach. Except it’s to inform me there is a group message which I can only read on… Manage My Health.

Kazu, the group/individual behind the ManageMyHealth breach, has posted some samples of the data for verification and they all appear to be legitimate.
Among other things, there are test results (ie; Labtests), referral letters, patient health summaries, hospital ED summaries and other letters
