I read through the posts, and it didn't look like anyone brought up my case. I'm the person who proved the press and government agencies prefer to portray the whistleblower as a hacker even if the info has been on a public web site for five years. Here's a timeline of my situation: http://corphq.livejournal.com/60599.html I keep a blog on this issue here: http://corphq.livejournal.com What was surprising about my case was not that Kaiser attempted to frame me - they've always been slime. What's upsetting is the way the press and the State of California enabled them by portraying me off the bat as a hacker. This made it impossible for me to get timely legal help. Even more upsetting is that even after the CA Dept. of Managed Health Care realized their mistake, they did nothing to fix the problem they had caused me. They didn't publicly apologize for their press release, and they left the Order against me on their web site. They pressured me into signing a "settlement" just to cover their own ass, and then they broke their side of it. The actions of the DMHC were illegal to begin with since they have no jurisdiction over private citizens. It seems that it's okay with all of society that the State can take illegal actions against me and I can be left to the HMO legal team wolves just because I'm a nobody and it apparently appeases public anxieties to punish the person who symbolizes the danger of medical records being posted on the Internet. In the end, though, this is shooting the messenger, and that just assures that people in the future will be afraid to report this kind of security leak. _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
