23andMe confirms hackers stole ancestry data on 6.9 million users::Genetic testing company 23andMe revealed that its data breach was much worse than previously reported, hitting about half of its total customers.
I would think so. IANAL but I’m sure there’s a ton of precedence for cases similar to this. HIPAA laws are very good for the people.
I hadn’t considered HIPAA. IANAL either but I have taken business law 101 as well as human services classes that both covered it.
If I remember right though, HIPAA isn’t a personal lawsuit. It’s the feds suing corporations for violations. I can’t like, personally sue the health industry for a violation (as far as I remember).
