Jere woke up on the morning of October 24, 2020, expecting what Finnish college students call
normi päivä, an ordinary day. It was a Saturday, and heâd slept in. The night before, he had gone drinking by the beach with some friends. Theyâd sipped cheap apple liqueur, listened to Billie Eilish on his boom box. Now Jere (pronounced âyeh-rehâ) needed to clear his head. He was supposed to spend this gray fall day on campus, finishing a group physics project about solar energy. The 22-year-old took a walk around the lake near his apartment outside Helsinki. Then, feeling somewhat refreshed, he jumped on the bus.

Hackers penetrated Vastaamo’s patient database and central medical records register in November 2018 and again in the spring of 2019, but it was only in September this year that Vastaamo’s board informed authorities about the hack.
