A one-two punch of health department-related data breaches over the past month have exposed hundreds of thousands of patient records in Pennsylvania and Wyoming.
In Wyoming, COVID-19, influenza and blood alcohol test results for more than 164,000 people – more than a quarter of the state s population – were accidentally uploaded to a public-facing website this past week.
And in Pennsylvania, a data breach potentially compromised the information of about 72,000 residents involved in the state s COVID-19 contact-tracing program. As of Monday, the state had not yet notified the impacted individuals.
WHY IT MATTERS
The exposures were related to employee behavior in both cases.

Oil City News and County 10 published UW’s release. Green Car Congress, World Coal and Electric Energy Online published similar articles.
The New York Times noted that UW is offering incentives to members of the university’s community who receive their COVID-19 vaccines. The article focused on the number of U.S. colleges that are requiring vaccinations for their employees and students this fall.

A roofing company out of Wyoming is giving away a free AR-15 rifle with the purchase of a new roof, a spectacular offer that has leftists freaking out.
Matt Thomas, marketing director for Wiggins Construction in Powell, said he came up with the idea after noticing people moving into the state in droves from liberal havens like California.
A construction company in Powell, Wyoming is going bold.
As reported by Cowboy State Daily, Wiggins Construction is pushing a promotion that’d likely leave Beto 2020 devotees, well,
triggered.
For residential and commercial customers purchasing a new roof, Wiggins is offering quite the caliber of a welcome gift:
a free AR-15.
From now until the end of the year, Wiggins Construction is offering a free AR-15 rifle with every new home or commercial roof. https://t.co/KjCEc3VGds
According to the company’s marketing director, Matt Thomas, folks are flocking to the country:
“People are moving into Wyoming to get out of the cities and to get away from the regulation and to get away from living in fear.”
Many businesses will offer incentives to lure new customers.
But a Powell company is putting a new spin on the practice by offering a free rifle for every new roof.
Matt Thomas, marketing director for Wiggins Construction in Powell, said his business has noticed a number of people moving to Wyoming from other states to enjoy a level of freedom they perhaps haven’t felt in their home state.
So Thomas said the owners of Wiggins figured that giving away something unique like an AR-15 rifle might spark some interest and give them a leg up on their competition.
“People are moving into Wyoming to get out of the cities and to get away from the regulation and to get away from living in fear,” Thomas said. “We’re just offering it as almost like, for the people that are recently moving to Wyoming as a ‘Welcome to Wyoming’ gift, and for the people that are here, locals, just a ‘thank you’ for doing business.”
