Five desktop computers containing unencrypted electronic protected health information (e-PHI) were stolen from the covered entity (CE). Originally, the CE reported that over 500 persons were involved, but subsequent investigation showed that about 260 persons were involved. The ePHI included demographic and financial information. The CE provided breach notification to affected individuals and HHS. Following the breach, the CE improved physical security by installing motion detectors and alarm systems security monitoring. It improved technical safeguards by installing enhanced antivirus and encryption software. As a result of OCR's investigation the CE updated its computer password policy.
