An apparent hack of medication platform MediMap has led to some alive patients being marked as deceased, and others labelled as ‘Charlie Kirk’. MediMap is used by some health providers in aged care, disability, hospice and the community to accurately record medication doses.

The Aged Care Association said as many as 60 percent of aged care facilities could be using the app. It comes almost two months after privately owned patient portal Manage My Health was caught up in a privacy breach.
