The business associate (BA), Lycoming-Clinton Joinder Board Programs, reported that several of its employees were victims of an email phishing attack that affected the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 14,500 individuals. The ePHI involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, diagnoses, and other treatment information. The BA notified HHS, affected individuals, and the media. In response to the breach, the BA strengthened its administrative and technical safeguards and retrained its staff on email security measures.
