WDHB Data Breach and HNZ Systems
Rodney Parsons made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Rodney Parsons to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Rodney Parsons
Dear Health New Zealand,
Inphysec undertook a report into the Waikato DHB data breach. The data systems breached were not isolated to Waikato DHB. Since this is a public request, I won't detail those systems, nor the implications, at this stage.
Outline the security classification of these government data systems. Provide the risk assessment on Waikato's IT systems, on the national health IT systems, and provide the updated risk assessment based on the extensive job and project cuts planned and undertaken already, within Health New Zealand.
Outline what, if any, delays there are to addressing the ongoing risks to New Zealander's data.
Yours faithfully,
Rodney Parsons

Should have asked Health NZ why they are planning to stop security patching on their servers. (Apparently they won't have the necessary staff needed to continue doing this critical work). A huge risk that no-one is talking about.
