About this report

An employee's email accounts was compromised due to a phishing attack and may have contained electronic protected health information (ePHI) affecting 600 individuals. The ePHI included names, addresses, dates of birth, and medical information. Upon discovering the breach, the CE provided breach notification to individuals, OCR, and the media. Following OCR’s investigation, the CE changed all workforce members’ electronic credentials, implemented improved technical safeguards, and retrained its staff regarding potential security threats.
