I suppose it has more to do with the opportunity for a significant breach. The healthcare provider’s email system is a big target full of exploits. Fax is also HIPPAHIPAA compliant, email is not.
Yeah I just love having my cancer diagnosis sent in plaintext over copper wire such that anyone with a dollar store audio recorder and physical access to the wire can intercept. If there’s one thing 19th century data transmission tech is known for, it’s security and privacy.
Is it too much to ask that hospitals use the literally decades old AES standard for sending medical data?
