Anyone’s health records should be restricted and include an audit trail of anyone who’s accessed them. Idk why the article made it sound sad of this is preferential to the presidency.

Way back when, I worked for what was then called First Union bank (now Wells Fargo by way of Wachovia) as an online tech support person. During training we were told that all account accesses are logged, but certain accounts (e.g., president or vice president) were also actively watched, and could result in a visit from the secret service.

I would imagine that’s a common protocol in scenarios like this; all access is logged, but certain high profile individuals get that extra umph and are also actively monitored for access.

I would imagine that in this case the access is restricted to a specific group of users IDs but the system logged the attempt to log in (and was actively monitored for attempts).

Health Care “System” I worked for tracked and audited this automatically. Could only access patient data of patients you were assign and the software tracked how often and when the data was accessed. Had a nurse almost get canned because the software showed that she was accessing a patient’s data outside of hours she would have been seeing the patient. Turns out her install was buggy. Forgot what exactly it was that cleared her.

But yeah, I’d have to think the records of the president would have much more security lol. Or maybe not?

OMG, a buggy install did that? How on earth?! I hope she was compensated for undue stress, poor lady. I would think anyone in public service would have extra security, but who knows?
