MyChart trackers yield patient data, including medical information

There was this, also: Could Facebook be more despicable?

I’m already ticked off at my provider because their system suffered a massive data breach in the last year; an employee clicked on a phishing link. Patient details, including contact information, profile photo, and entire medical histories were taken. I changed all my phone numbers and email addresses, and compartmentalized them all per activity after that. The break-in was attributed to a nation-state, so I’m sure my dossier is growing by leaps and bounds somewhere, after all the data breaches I’ve been affected by.

I don’t need the additional insult-to-injury of being tracked by unethical companies.
