I would imagine any combination of personally identifiable information that could be used to impersonate someone. Medical records are supposed to be protected under the HIPPA laws, but to date, NO ONE has been prosecuted/fined for violations, and they are indeed widespread. I myself have had private medical information leaked. I filed a complaint, but it falls on deaf ears. Ears that are intending to protect the wrongdoers.
