Warren General Hospital, the covered entity (CE), reported that it experienced a cyber-attack that compromised the protected health information (PHI) of 168,921 individuals.

In its mitigation efforts, the CE enhanced its use of existing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all external user access to improve security. Implemented additional technical safeguards.
