Saturday Event at Atlanta DEFCON 404

17 Oct Saturday Event at Atlanta DEFCON 404

Saturday October 18th at Manuel’s Tavern at 2pm

Michael Daugherty, author and CEO of the cancer testing facility LabMD in Atlanta will be chronicling his battle with the Federal Trade Commission after disputing Tiversa Inc.’s allegations of 9000 of LabMD’s patients being available on peer-to-peer networks. Tiversa required a services agreement to give LabMD any further information regarding how Tiversa came in possession of LabMD’s medical data and the wars started right after that.

Tiversa has been charged by the Oversight Committee with providing “questionable information” concerning companies “that refused to buy its services” to the FTC which resulted in the FTC’s enforcement action against LabMD.
