People generally don't die as a result of failure to meet HIPAA standards, though. To boot, HIPAA covers security standards for the protection of PII--it doesn't cover security standards for network intrusion.

Preventing network intrusion seems pretty critical to protect PII.

Someone can be on the network and fail to crack encrypted data and you'd be in compliance. HIPAA is only about information leaks, not about operational health.
