COVID-19 Results for 25% of Wyoming Accidentally Posted Online

An employee fumbled the health information of about 164,021 Wyoming residents and of people from other states as early as Nov. 5. The department learned about the data exposure on March 10. The COVID-19 test results weren t just from tests taken in Wyoming but could have been performed anywhere in the US between January 2020 and March 2021. Last December, 45 million medical images were exposed online, freely left up for grabs for blackmailers, fraudsters or other criminals.
