If only our government was brave enough to make an example of them....but no, there will probably be a settlement that results in every victim getting 92 cents, and no further repercussions for either cooperation.

Or a hacktivist to give them a taste of that medicine.

Issue here is the chains get tighter every time people try to "fight back". Maybe parallel societies are the right path.

Can we get a link for something to the article?

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Found an article.

https://www.hipaajournal.com/kroger-class-action-pharmacy-patient-data-disclosures/#:~:text=The%20supermarket%20chain%2C%20Kroger%2C%20is,parties%20such%20as%20Meta%20Platforms.

Having read it, this smells more like a legal firm that makes money from suing a shit ton of companies and occasionally being right ratherthan any real evidence of the patient data disclosure.

Didn't Costco's pharmacy get in trouble for this exact thing a couple months ago? I have a feeling we're going to see a story about this for all the major pharmacy chains.

What's funny about that, is although I try to never shop at crap Kroger, sometimes its just easier, I noticed once when I wanted to check something for being in stock, I couldn't view their website with my VPN up, didn't matter the server. I said, they're dataming something! Why would a read only website like that even care.... I now know why.
