The covered entity (CE), Somerset County Children and Youth Services, reported that an employee was subject to an email phishing scheme that affected the protected health information (PHI) of 2,251 individuals. The PHI involved included demographic, clinical, and financial information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and posted substitute notice on its website. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional administrative, technical, and security safeguards to better protect its PHI, strengthened its policies and procedures, and retrained its workforce members on email security precautions and on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications.
