Personal medical information might have been exposed on Chicago Department of Public Health dashboard

Posted on January 29, 2025 by Dissent

Todd Feuer reports:

Some people might have had their names and medical information exposed on a Chicago Department of Public Health online dashboard last fall, city officials said.

On Oct. 8, 2024, the department learned about an “inadvertent potential disclosure of sensitive information used to generate statistics related to public health and safety,” CDPH officials said in a notice posted on its website on Tuesday.

After conducting an investigation, the department determined that some people’s names and medical information might have been exposed “when visiting a dashboard showing statistical information if the visitor took certain steps when viewing the dashboard.”

The department did not reveal how many people’s information was exposed, or if the dashboard was part of their public website or an internal system.
