Oakland County secured a data leakage of internal COVID-19 data that was used by the Oakland County Health Division for public health analysis.
The leaked data was circulated on WeChat, a social media messaging app.
The leak included information about positive coronavirus cases relating to gender, race, age, address, and mortality status.
The Oakland IT department stated that fewer than 100 WeChat users received individual access to the leaked information and that there was "zero evidence" the data was circulated outside of WeChat.
