VibrantCare Rehabilitation, the covered entity (CE), reported that an employee was the victim of an email phishing scheme that affected the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 1,655 individuals.

The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, and the media. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards and retrained its staff on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications.
