Unbelievable. Or maybe too believable...

I previously posted about Bolton Walk-in Clinic in Ontario not locking down their patient data despite multiple responsible disclosure alerts (https://infosec.exchange/@PogoWasRight/113589181607493357). Then I reported that Canada's cybersecurity agency contacted me and offered to help (https://infosec.exchange/@PogoWasRight/113589757905504474).

Well, they tried... but got no results either. Bolton Walk-In Clinic is still exposing patient data and didn't even do anything when contacted by Canadian federal police.

If any Canadian news outlet would like to report on this, get in touch. @JayeLTee and I will share the information with you (yes, I just volunteered him too). 😂

Or if anyone is in the vicinity of their clinic, maybe stand outside with a sign that says, "Bolton Walk-In Clinic is leaking patient data and ignoring alerts!" That might get some attention...

Bonus points if you get someone in a Santa outfit to stand outside their clinic with a sign that says "Bolton Walk-In Clinic is naughty -- they are leaking patient data."

Bolton Walk-In Clinic in Ontario: lock down your backup already! DataBreaches hates reporting on an incident when the entity has not yet secured misconfigured storage, but after four months of futile efforts to get a Canadian clinic to respond to responsible disclosures, maybe publication will help get them off the dime. Do any personal injury lawyers in Ontario, Canada, or folks in the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario follow me? Maybe they can get something done.
