Aesto Health experienced a data breach affecting 9.54 million patients due to unauthorized access on its AWS infrastructure, exposing sensitive personal and health information. The breach highlights risks from third-party vendors handling patient data, with affected healthcare providers responsible for notifying patients.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Healthtech Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your healthcare tech startup must tightly control third-party data access or face breaches that shift patient trust and regulatory scrutiny to you. AWS hosting no longer guarantees safety—review vendor security aggressively this week.
