I've been telling people for years that it's probably easier that they get used to the thought that everything about them is "public" in some way than waiting for the day when computers and databases are suddenly safe from hacking.

That doesn't mean that all of your neighbors know your medical history, but you have to assume that someone who wants to know those details about you will know them.

I have lost faith in people protecting any significant database from hackers.
