Follow-Up: MedEvolve provides notice of leaky FTP server

Posted on July 10, 2018 by Dissent

On May 16, DataBreaches.net reported on a breach involving MedEvolve. The breach had been reported to this site by an independent researcher, who had found that some of MedEvolve’s clients’ patient information was exposed on a public FTP server with no login required.

The MedEvolve incident was included in the May statistics compiled for Protenus’s Breach Barometer report.

Now MedEvolve has issued a statement about the incident, which you can read in its entirety below.  I will be interested to see how this is reported to HHS. As of the time of this posting, the incident is not yet listed on HHS’s breach tool.
