Hey folks -- Jeff Kao at ProPublica here.

What was most frustrating to me while reporting this story, was that a researcher had written about this exact problem (after scanning ipv4 for the port) back in 2016. HIPAA is one of the only federal data privacy laws w/ teeth, and this type of obvious insecurity is pretty inexcusable.

Thanks for reading. If you think there's something we should look into, we'd love to hear about it. :-)

P.S. As a fast.ai student -- thanks Jeremy for posting!
