A massive database containing personally identifiable information and other records belonging to millions of US citizens was sitting unprotected on the internet, easily obtainable for anyone who knew where to look, experts have warned.

Cybersecurity researchers at Cybernews discovered the archive in late March 2025, finding it contained roughly 2.7 million patient profiles and 8.8 million appointment records.

The data included people��Ts names, dates of birth, emails, postal addresses, phone numbers, gender information, chart IDs, language preferences, billing details, and appointment records (including patient metadata, timestamp, and institutional references).
