St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors System

The covered entity (CE), St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors System, reported that multiple employees were the targets of an email phishing scheme that affected the protected health information (PHI) of 4,434 individuals. The PHI involved included names, dates of birth, Social Security and drivers’ license numbers, addresses, passport information, claims and financial information, diagnoses, lab results, medications, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, and the media. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional administrative, technical, and security safeguards to better protect its PHI. In addition, the CE retrained its workforce members on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications.
