Hot Take:

When it comes to safeguarding our delicate health data, it seems many companies are about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. The latest snafu with UnitedHealth’s data breach is a facepalm moment that could make the Brits nostalgic for the days when the worst NHS mix-up was accidentally giving someone orange squash instead of apple juice. The cybercriminals must be high-fiving in their dark web hideouts as we continue to hand over our most intimate details with less scrutiny than a sleepy bouncer at a pub. Wakey-wakey, health care giants – it's time to put on the cybersecurity big boy pants before we're all cyber-streaking!
