Here is a great example of why hospitals need to assess/test the data/information safeguards of their business associates. In this case 300,000 individuals had their health information and SS#'s freely available on a provider business associate's website.
As a consumer, it is also a good example of why you should periodically search your name and each of your children to see what is out there on the Internet. This could have easily been found by a hospital's patient, as I noted in my data breach article.
