That's a shame for those people. You give an organization PII and PHI with the assumption that they are going to protect it and then something like this happens. Medical info is the most valuable there is on the black market. 10x more valuable than working credit card numbers. :( Problem is that these places, especially in healthcare, are so out of their league when it comes to IT and IT security. And so many of them don't have a grasp on the risks that they face. I'm not sure what the protections are over there. In the US that company might was well close up the doors. HHS would could hit them with $10K fine per record.
