FTC: Medical transcription firm allowed histories to be on search engine

2014-02-03 13:26:53| InfoWorld: Top News

A medical transcription company has agreed to settle a U.S. Federal Trade Commission complaint that its inadequate security measures allowed the personal information, including medical histories and examination notes, of thousands of people to be published on the Internet. The FTC charged GMR Transcription Services, based in California, with allowing, through inadequate security, patients' medical histories and other information to be indexed on an Internet search engine. GMR didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment on the settlement.
