Abstrakti<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This presentation draws upon a study that examines the experiences of data breach victims through a lens provided by the digital hauntology framework. The private psychotherapy provider Vastaamo\u2019s database was the target of a data breach, with the leak of both personal identification information and notes from therapy sessions. While the leak was in many ways a result of the datafication of health care, the platformisation of psychotherapy \u2013 the business model of Vastaamo relied on a digital platform \u2013 enabled this breach to occur on a massive scale. From the victims\u2019 viewpoint, data generated in the past may continue to haunt the victims in future. I discuss and analyse the leaked data, in all their liveliness and with their own multitemporal (after)lives, as both haunted and haunting. The data consist of anonymous written stories by victims (N=100). The breach left victims more vulnerable to new harms and injuries, especially since their personal information having been made accessible on the dark web. Thus, the danger cannot be said to be over, and the victims are bound to \u2018data meantimes\u2019 as their data is potentially endlessly circulating, and waiting for new harms and crimes is key to their enduring suffering. The victims\u2019 stories speak of the uncanny intimacies generated by temporally displaced and misplaced data and the various modes of (in)attention in data-driven health care. Data assumed to be privatised and fossilised has been made widely available, holding open not only their multitemporal (after)lives but also the future horizons of the victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
