Cybersecurity expert calls for replacement technology following Tasmanian ambulance patient data leak
A cybersecurity expert has called on the Tasmanian Government to replace its ambulance communication technology to prevent future breaches of confidential patient information.
Key points:
- A Queensland-based expert says it is difficult to protect information communication via radio
- He says it is impossible to know how many people have accessed leaked data
- The Shadow ICT Minister says the breach is a “betrayal of Tasmanian’s trust”
It was revealed on Friday the private details of every Tasmanian who had called an ambulance since November last year had been published by a third party to a list online that was still updating each time paramedics were dispatched.
The unencrypted information came from pagers being used by paramedics.
