Iβve just emailed Stuffs editor keith.lynch@stuff.co.nz about a follow up on the article of the PM working from about the 3rd of Jan. I suggest the only way we get media doing their job is if they are emailed by lots of people to write a follow up article, oh and ask about the health hack as well.

I haven't seen any official communication from the govt, te whatu ora or Manage my health about the likely uses of the stolen health data and how people can protect themselves from potential incoming scams. The best info has been coming from Bluesky. Pathetic response from Brown. #nzpol

HISO regulations are really clear and important frameworks and guidelines for how to treat health data. There are even separate guidelines for the size and type of org. Every org with access to health data has to follow these. Time to prosecute.

I think this is because he's an opposition MP, knows how to knock things but doesn't know how to build them or protect them.
