COVID-19 Data-Sharing App Leaked Healthcare Worker Info

A platform used by healthcare workers in the Philippines contained flaws that exposed healthcare worker data and could potentially could have leaked patient data. The Citizen Lab s report is the latest example of how the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a host of security problems for the healthcare sector to deal with. Researchers point to two vulnerabilities that have since been patched one in the web app and another in the Android app that attackers could have exploited to expose sensitive data from the system. Both flaws have been identified and patched as of Oct. 29.
