Put simply

It's like leaving the front door to a secure building wide open because you thought the lock was strong enough — anyone could just walk in and access everything inside!

This kind of breach could have absolutely devastating consequences for both patients and healthcare providers, compromising trust and safety! Immediately enforce stronger password policies and ensure users change to complex, unique passwords. Additionally, consider implementing multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security.
