An apparent hack of medication platform MediMap has led to some alive patients being marked as deceased, and others labelled as ‘Charlie Kirk’. SCREENSHOT

A digital medical records data company has been taken offline after some patient records were modified.

MediMap is used by some health providers in aged care, disability, hospice and the community to accurately record medication doses.

A notification on the company’s website says the company is investigating the scope of the impact and will remain offline while this happens.

It comes almost two months after privately owned patient portal Manage My Health was caught up in a privacy breach.

More to come…
