Hacking seems to be flavour of the month.
This could be serious.

"The Australian Federal Police are scrambling to ensure the safety of some of its secret agents and operations exposed in a massive cyberhack of Colombian government files."
This isn't even about our Government..?
Who gave the information to Columbia?
Trump?
Safer than at your local medical centre. Any receptionist can go looking up your records, while MyHR is restricted. Plus your medical records are most often sent via fax or unprotected DVDs in the mail. Fortunately encrypted email is starting to be a thing for this.
A random receptionist seeing something is very different to all your information being available to everyone when it's hacked and posted online/sold.
Let me elaborate. It's very easy for a random receptionist or really any staff member to leak your personal information online. Or if the practice was to be compromised. Now that imaging and pathology providers are doing electronic referrals there's now an extra element of your information online even if you opted out of MyHR. Same applies to any referrals to specialists and eScripts.
On a related note I did an audit of a large Sydney CBD practice and they had unencrypted RDP. Pretty easy to get in and take everything.
Haha, and people are happy to trust their medical records etc with "my health record", amongst other government ventures.
