Not just vaccines, but basically all your data, including billing and disease history. Perfect for both scamming and extortion.
Keep in mind that you actually want your medical provider to have that data, so they can treat you with respect to your medical history, without killing you in the process.
True. However, reading between the lines, the exfiltration "project" was targeted (i.e. one-off), skilled and long. I would put the cost anywhere between 1 megabuck and 10 megabucks. Given risks and dubious monetization, I would assume the "sponsor" demands at least a 10x ROI.
Is medical data really that valuable?
How about psychiatric data from the area around Washington DC? Hospitals/practices that are frequented by New York CEO-types? I can picture that being quite valuable to the right parties.
