The covered entity (CE), Oaklawn Hospital, reported that several employees were the victims of an email phishing attack that affected the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 26,861 individuals. The ePHI involved included names, addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, clinical information, Social Security numbers, drivers’ license numbers, and financial and claims information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided complimentary credit monitoring services. In response to the breach, the CE strengthened its administrative and technical safeguards to better protect its sensitive data. Workforce members were also retrained on recognizing and responding to fraudulent email communications. OCR provided the CE with technical assistance regarding the HIPAA Security Rule.
