Confidant Health, a provider of addiction recovery and other mental health services, experienced a data security incident. A misconfigured database left therapy sessions and sensitive patient records exposed online. Although there is no mention of data being stolen or misused, the vulnerability was a significant privacy breach that put personal health information at risk. The company corrected the issue swiftly upon being notified by a researcher, but the incident underscores the vulnerability of personal health data and the potential for substantial impact if such data were to be compromised or misused.
