Just read this in the german news and found the corresponding US article:

DICOM sent out a briefing on this last week:

The missing analysis if these images are test images on a intentional public server or real patient related data is a very valid point in the response from DICOM. And i agree it is the responsibility of the actual implementer to have a proper security model around a PACS system.
So the headline is could be misleading.
Here is the actual published paper by greenbone:
