Health Insurers are salivating at the actuarial data that will be used for pricing their customers in the future.

I have a theory that this is how the Fappening came to be. I'm sure some of it was phishing but I imagine most of it came from Apple employees and classified government workers with access to unlocked programs. And that's my conspiracy of the day.

What's the conspiracy? Amazon's most profitable business has long been their Cloud Services and they keep coming out with more services and software just like any vendor. If you're assuming Amazon the retailer uses information gleaned from these patient records, I'm pretty sure that not only breaks a bunch of laws regarding healthcare privacy, it's just not how it works. Many phone apps use Amazon as the backend infrastructure for their apps, that doesn't mean Amazon knows how much candy you crush or how many dick picks you send. They are selling a service and the data belongs to the companies buying/using that service.

Between this and the totally screwed up delivery service that is just thrown to the wolves at the busiest time of the year, I am really beginning to dislike this company.

If there are laws requiring your own employer to respect your privacy concerning medical records, why the hell can amazon have access to them?
