A directory created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has exposed the Social Security numbers of a number of US healthcare providers.

The Trump administration introduced a new Medicare portal as part of plans to modernize US healthcare technology.

However, a database that was part of the directory was left publicly accessible, and exposed providers’ names and Social Security numbers.
