The covered entity (CE), Centerstone of Indiana, reported that several employees were the victims of an email phishing scheme that affected the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 11,638 individuals. The ePHI involved included names, addresses, birthdates, drivers’ license numbers, Social Security numbers, diagnoses/conditions, lab results, medications prescribed, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and posted substitute notice on its website. 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.
