A junior Navy sailor faced disciplinary action for attempting to access President Joe Biden's medical records through a government database in February. This breach, which was carried out on Feb. 23, involved the sailor searching for "Joseph Biden" three times in the Military Health System's electronic health record, MHS Genesis. The U.S. Navy revealed the breach on Tuesday, as reported by ABC News.
According to a U.S. official who spoke to ABC News, the sailor's actions were reported by a co-worker, prompting an investigation into the violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The incident took place at the Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Fort Belvoir.
