Anthem ACE, the covered entity (CE), learned that its business associate (BA) inadvertently posted the protected health information (PHI) of 13,406 individuals on the Internet. This information was then exfiltrated. The PHI involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, and the media. In response to the breach, the BA implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards and retrained its staff to better protect PHI.
