About this report
An encrypted laptop computer was stolen from an AFLAC associate's vehicle in Puerto Rico. The laptop contained PHI of approximately 679 individuals and contained demographic, financial and clinical information, including patient names, addresses, birthdates, social security numbers, claims information, and diagnoses. The covered entity filed a police report and provided breach notification to all affected individuals, HHS, and the media. The responsible workforce member was sanctioned. OCR acknowledges that the incident does not constitute a reportable breach under the Breach Notification Rule because the laptop was sufficiently encrypted.
