California Health Insurance Site Leaked Sensitive Data to LinkedIn

The California health insurance website CoveredCA.com was found to be leaking sensitive health information, including pregnancy status, disability, and medication use, to LinkedIn via the LinkedIn Insight tag. An investigation by The Markup revealed this data sharing continued for over a year before CoveredCA removed the trackers following media reports. Experts expressed concerns about privacy violations and highlighted the inadequacy of current regulations in protecting sensitive data.
