About this report

The covered entity (CE), Sunspire Health, reported that several employees were the victims of an email phishing scheme that affected the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 6,737 individuals. The ePHI involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, drivers’ license information, financial and health insurance information, claims information, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided complimentary credit and identity theft restoration services. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional administrative, technical, and security safeguards to better protect its ePHI. In addition, the CE retrained its workforce members on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications.
