Indiana Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center

Indiana Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center, the covered entity (CE), reported that several employees were the subjects of an email phishing scheme that compromised the protected health information (PHI) of 4,750 individuals. The PHI involved included names, addresses, birthdates, Social Security and drivers’ license numbers, diagnoses, lab results, and medications. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. In its mitigation efforts, the CE provided complimentary credit monitoring services and implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards. Staff were retrained on email security.
