The covered entity (CE), OSR Physical Therapy, reported that multiple employees were victims of an email phishing attack affecting the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 714 individuals. The PHI involved included names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, diagnoses, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and established a phone number for questions or concerns. In its mitigation efforts, the CE provided complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services, strengthened it technical safeguards, and retrained its workforce members on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications. OCR provided technical assistance to the CE.
