No, really? Electronic medical records might be... bad?

Say it ain't so, Politico!

America's medical records systems are flirting with disaster, say the experts who monitor crime in cyberspace. A hack that exposes the medical and financial records of hundreds of thousands of patients is coming, they say — it's only a matter of when.

As health data become increasingly digital and the use of electronic health records booms, thieves see patient records in a vulnerable health care system as attractive bait, according to experts interviewed by POLITICO. On the black market, a full identity profile contained in a single record can bring as much as $500.

Yeah, Bad Guys might hack them like they hacked Target stores. Like they say in America, no shit Sherlock!

This is in addition to the entirely -legal- snooping of government officials rummaging through your medical records for things they might find of interest.
