Psychotherapy centre data breach victims receive extortion emails

>As a company that provides psychotherapy services, the confidentiality of customer information is extremely important to us

This rings a bell. Where have I heard this before? Oh yea, EVERY data breach that has ever happened.

Does no one learn that this is the last thing to say?

Some current background info: The breach and the extortion emails are at the moment on the front page of all major Finnish news publications. The Finnish government main ministers are discussing on how to handle the potential crisis, since there are possibly 40 000 patients' records leaked and some of the victims are already in a very vulnarable state and might be feeling even more desperate if their traumas will be publicly shared online. https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/psychotherapy_centre_reve...

This is a crime where I really think that capital punishment is justified. In addition to preying on highly vulnerable people, stuff like this discourages people from getting help.

I've been involuntarily hospitalized three times. Zero fucks if all the records were made public. Political abuse of Iowa's mental health system needs electric sunlight.
