No secrets: Fertility clinic discloses data breach exposing patient info
A bunch of kids might soon be discovering their real mothers. Or perhaps they'll be pleased to learn they aren't a product of their parents having sex, a concept that grosses out any kid.
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/s ... ient-info/A Georgia-based fertility clinic has disclosed a data breach after files containing sensitive patient information were stolen during a ransomware attack.
Reproductive Biology Associates, LLC, (RBA) is a fertility clinic that recruits egg donors, retrieves eggs, and stores them for later use by recipients, including those using the MyEggBank service.
MyEggBank works with multiple fertility centers around the USA, including RBA, to recruit egg donors and create an egg bank where potential recipients can search for a matching egg donor.
Reproductive Biology Associates' investigation has determined that the data stolen during the ransomware attack contained the following information for approximately 38,000 patients:
Full Name
Address
Social Security Number
Laboratory Results
Information relating to the handling of human tissue

Forget the sex angle, some offspring might be happy just simply to learn they aren't actually related to their hillbilly or trailer trash or habitual criminal or drug and booze addled parents.
It might trigger a flurry of emancipation petitions.
