It should be a safe space, but r
thousands of breast cancer pati,
their grueling and personal medical care
is now a free for all on the Internet,
and 11 Alive investigation uncod
thousands of private medical phs
of breast cancer patients were leaked
online as part of a ransomware attack.
Savannah Levins has the story.
The leaked images were not only mammograms,
but also full frontal photos
taken of patients breasts,
many with their face in them.
Survivors tell me they're horrid
this happened when they're
already going through so much.
March of 2020, as Georgia was
shutting down because of COVID,
I found a lump in my breast.
And it turned out to be stage 2B
triple negative breast cancer,
which is the most aggressive
form of breast cancer. Sylvia
Garcia was 31 when she was
diagnosed with breast cancer.
I underwent 16 rounds of chemo.
I chose to have a bilateral mastectomy,
which means they removed both breasts.
I have 10 doctors that I see
for so long. Her focus was just on surviving.
I couldn't stand up straight.
I couldn't bathe myself. I reme.
One day waking up and saying ifs
is what it takes to have breast,
I don't even know if it's worth.
This month she learned thousands
of breast cancer patients had tr
medical information and photos hacked.
I'm horrified. I mean,
just to think that maybe my
picture could have been there,
that a stranger saw that it's is
horrifying, but infuriating too.
Why would why would someone want to do
that after we've been through so much?
There are photos of you. You kn,
and your most vulnerable time. Patrick
Kelly is a cybersecurity
expert who discovered the leak.
This one has me shook a little ,
being totally honest.
Not just test results,
not just their names and their addresses,
but like full body photos of these people.
It's just one of the worst
breaches I think I've ever seen.
Kelly says the breach primarily came from
Lehigh Valley Health in Pennsylvania,
but other breaches may also ince
patients in Georgia. Do most
of them not have any idea that s
has happened? I don't think the.
It's left survivors like Garcia
devastated and questioning everything.
We have to sign a lot of forms t
who can have access and all thi.
But how secure it? How? Is.
I mean, is it really secure?
It's scary to think that anybody could
just access all of my information. Kelly
says patients should feel empowered to
ask questions during their appointments.
Ask Do you have to take these photos?
What are you gonna do with these photos?
How are you keeping this data?
Where is it going?
Lehigh disclosed what happened,
saying they did not pay the
ransom the hackers demanded.
Kelly worries it's a slippery s.
This morning we've had five
more health care breaches.
The more damaging, the more salacious,
the more impacting that the information is,
you know, the greater chance
that they're going to get paid.
Garcia is now in remission and
working to support other breast
cancer patients, hoping to spred
awareness and protect survivors.
It can happen to anyone.
Listen to your body.
If something feels wrong,
speak up. Say something.
We have to fight through
hell to get to where we are.
You will go through some dark t,
but we're alive.
