The covered entity (CE), CCPOA Benefit Trust Fund, reported that it was the victim of a ransomware attack that affected the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 80,000 individuals. The ePHI involved included names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and phone numbers. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, and the media. The CE also provided complimentary credit monitoring services. As a result of OCR’s investigation, the CE revised its HIPAA security procedures, retrained its workforce members, and implemented additional technical safeguards to better protect its systems that maintain ePHI.
