- Aesto Health left 9.5 million people's personal and health data sitting in AWS like unsealed cargo on a threadbare hull — and someone walked off with the manifest. Healthcare tech, cloud misconfig, zero drama required: this is a digital-infrastructure failure, plain and simple. Who gets hurt? Patients who never signed up for this delivery — medical data can't be "rotated" like a leaked password. Stop kidding yourself if you think a cloud provider's logo equals security; the seal is only as good as the crew that applied it. Serious readers: check the breach notice, freeze credit, treat any "verify your records" email as hostile until proven otherwise. Check the seals, people. Delivery signature applied.
