Healthcare providers? So doctors, nurses, admin staff. Their SSNs just floating around in a *publicly accessible database*. And they call it 'inadvertently'. What kind of security negligence does it take for that to happen?
Honestly, it's probably some badly configured S3 bucket or an old FTP server left open from some legacy system. Happens more than people realize, but usually not with government data involving SSNs.
