A running joke for me is the healthcare providers which are worried whether our firm will use "a database" which "could be hacked" instead of, to make up something which clearly has never been said by anyone regulated in the United States, saving all patient information as drafts in the office manager's hotmail account.


It's just a draft though. If you don't hit send, clearly it's not in a "database".


If you saved email draft into Outlook - it is a database.

If your computer is hacked, then attacker would be able to extract information from that Outlook database.


Sorry, my sarcasm did not come off properly :)
