Prisma Health-Midlands, the covered entity (CE), reported that an employee’s computer access credentials were posted for sale on the dark web causing a potential disclosure of the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 19,060 individuals. The ePHI involved included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, addresses, and health insurance information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, and the media. In its mitigation efforts, the CE sanctioned the responsible employee and implemented additional technical and security safeguards to better protect its sensitive data. The CE offered complimentary credit monitoring services to affected individuals. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions noted.
