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.

Both flaws have been identified and patched as of Oct. 29.
