the health records of 20,000 Stanford Hospital patients made their way onto a public website after the data were used accidentally as part of a job skills test.

The sensitive personal information contained in medical records is becoming more accessible than ever as the United states embarks on a fast and unprecedented shift to electronic health records.

Today, many of these records are stored in databases called health information exchanges or HIES, which are linked together online--making a treasure trove of data accessible to myriad hospital workers, insurance companies and government employees.

Unsurprisingly, social security numbers, health histories and other personal data from breached or stolen electronic health records are used routinely by identity thieves.

Criminals can buy social security numbers online for about $5 each, but medical profiles can fetch $50
