Well the contractor is mad at us because I point out a problem they caused. The client stop using the palms computers. It was a pet project of the CEO and the IT staff did not have the resources or skills to fix all the problems. CFO said they did not have the money to fix to problems. So I scare the hell out of them. They removed the contractor and us. So every one is mad at us. We can not go directly to the client because of contracts. So that is the way the cookies crumbles.

IANAL. TINLA.

if you are aware of a violation of law (HIPAA, in this case) then you may be legally required to report that violation to proper authorities (who enforces HIPAA?). talk to a lawyer.

DO NOT mention your intent to report the violation to the contractor that hired you; even with the best of intentions (to have the problem solved) it is likely to be misinterpreted as a threat or blackmail. simply report it to the appropriate authorities. if you are an employee you may be legally protected as a whistle-blower. talk to a lawyer.
