The covered entity (CE), Goshen Health System, Inc., reported that two of its employees were victims of an email phishing attack affecting the protected health information (PHI) of 9,160 individuals. The PHI involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, drivers’ license numbers, Social Security numbers, claims information, diagnoses/conditions, lab results, medications prescribed, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and established a call center for questions or concerns. Goshen also provided complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services for affected individuals. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards and retrained its staff on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions noted.
