An unauthorized user deployed ransomware to invade the covered entity’s (CE) computer server and demanded payment to recover the CE’s patient data. The breach involved the protected health information (PHI) of 2,938 individuals and included demographic and clinical information. The CE, the Warren Clinic, operated by St. Francis Health Systems, provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals and the media and provided affected individuals with complimentary identity protection coverage. As a result of the breach the CE implemented safeguards and restricted its computer servers from internet access. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed above.
