'Uber for nurses' exposes 86K+ medical records, PII via open S3 bucket
Learn about the critical database vulnerability reported by cybersecurity expert Jeremiah Fowler concerning ESHYFT's extensive network of healthcare professionals and facilities across 29 states.
The platform is available in following U.S. states: AL, AZ, AR, CA, CT, DE, FL, GA, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, MD, MI, MN, MO, NE, NJ, OH, PA, RI, SC, TN, VT, VA, WA, WI, and WV.
