Leak from a digital giant, responsibility lies with a small company

In August, data from the MyDr system was leaked, potentially affecting 19 million individuals. The incident highlights the inadequacies of current data protection laws, which were designed for a different context. Medical facilities using MyDr face significant liabilities, as they are jointly responsible with the data processors. The legal framework complicates accountability, as healthcare providers must prove the adequacy of security measures they cannot fully assess. The Ministry of Digitalization is proposing reforms to improve data security and clarify responsibilities, but challenges remain in ensuring effective compliance and protection for patients.
