Are you saying the clinic that illegally intercepted communication that wasn’t meant for them and wouldn’t have provided ALL info and options should get a pat on the wrist, rather than receive punishment for deceitful actions?
I know where I stand and it should be fined out of existence for pushing its christo-fascist bullshit.
Well, one is a clinic and the other isn’t a licensed health care facility at all, so I think OP was expressing worry that the abortion clinic would be fined out of existence for HIPAA violations related to not properly securing patient data.
That’s not at all what the article says. These women went to the actual Four Women’s Health Services website, filled out a form, and were contacted by someone who didn’t work at Four Women’s to schedule an appointment elsewhere.
Edit: In the article, their lawyer says, “AWHC’s outreach to Four Women’s patients appears to be the result of their unlawful infiltration of Four Women’s electronic platforms.” Later in the article, a spokesperson for the EFF says what’s more likely is that an employee is intentionally leaking data. Either way, there’s no indication that this is the result of pregnant women being duped by a website.
In IT systems that I’ve been a part of that manage HIPAA data, there are access controls and audit trails required for compliance. The fact that the victims are receiving calls within mere hours of posting the request should make a very short audit trail. What will turn up is either the perpetrator’s user account, or possibly a non-related worker that had compromised account credentials (username/password). Even then it will show access from a specific IP address, and that IP address can be audited back to which piece of hardware (desktop, laptop, tablet) had that IP address at that time. From that point there are cameras and timeclock tracking.
Since this has happened more than once, it is unlikely the exact same staff has been working at the same time for all the recorded incidents of leaks. Its a process of elimination problem at that point. Example using fake names of workers:
Leak 1 workers:
Brie
Noah
Fatima
Dennis
Leak 2 workers:
Noah
Fatima
Dennis
Maria
Leak 3 workers:
Brie
Dennis
Maria
Sofia
Leak 4 workers:
Dennis
Maria
Sofia
Miguel
The leaker is Dennis as he is the only worker that was there on all 4 shifts when the request came in.
Honestly this is a good example of where a justice system that doesn’t revolve around incarceration would be better. Obviously this isn’t a situation society can just let fly but what becomes of this child now that their mom is locked up? Nothing good.
Edit: or maybe she isn’t, the article doesn’t mention any possible sentences.
I don’t understand how this would be fine but pedophiles generating them at home without distributing them would be illegal.
Cause the cops are creating CSAM and putting it out there in some shape or form, which you could argue would encourage pedophiles same way circulating ai images would as well.
Either generating under age sensitive material is always wrong or it’s not.
I want to know how this was accomplished. I meand did they hack them. Article is a bit short on detail:
"“AWHC’s outreach to Four Women’s patients appears to be the result of their unlawful infiltration of Four Women’s electronic platforms,” said Matthew Patton, an attorney representing Four Women. “The patients they are intercepting are seeking a range of reproductive health care services, from birth control to abortions to ultrasounds.”"
Technically you get to meet with the cheese sandwich. They could only afford one cheese sandwich and you meet with it over zoom to make sure you don’t eat it
Ffs! What do these fascists have to say and do for the billionaire-owned media to admit the obvious fact that they ARE a right wing extremist group??
It’s not hyperbolic rhetoric: the Republican party is LITERALLY a fascist party and every bit as extreme as any of the other groups mentioned in the article!
