Health information is both super personal and mission critical. After all, if your bank accounts are breached, it may creep you out and you might even lose money, but such losses are often insured.

If scammers start changing details on a medical record, substantial physical damage could result. If a health record is cloned and sold for profit on the black market, someone other than the patient could use the medical care benefits for their own profit, or even forge a very convincing digital clone—a “virtual person”—based on the detailed information it contains.
