Yes, privacy risks in digital medical records (EHRs) are often underestimated. While EHRs improve efficiency and care coordination, they face escalating threats from hacking, ransomware, and insider breaches. In 2025 alone, U.S. healthcare data breaches exposed over 275 million records, with average costs exceeding $10 million per incident. Studies highlight inherent vulnerabilities like remote access and data sharing, amplifying risks of misuse or re-identification despite regulations like HIPAA.https://www.hipaajournal.com/healthcare-data-breach-statistics/
