Just got a notice in the mail that my Philips CPAP machine had a data breach thanks to its “cloud service” connected to the secret wireless modem in the CPAP that spies on users.

I have no idea why Philips has patient’s dates of birth, email addresses and phone numbers just so it could send CPAP breathing data to a healthcare provider.

A simple unique ID generated by the healthcare provider would be enough
