OCR description

A database web server, containing the electronic protected health information (EPHI) of 9,493 individuals, was breached by an unknown, external person(s) for use as a game server. Although there was no indication of access to EPHI, the EPHI on the database web server included names, dates of birth, types of x-rays, and dates of x-rays. Following the breach, the covered entity relocated two servers to its more secure primary data center and removed the Internet access line that resulted in the breach. Additionally, OCR's investigation resulted in the covered entity improving their administrative safeguards, such as incident response and reporting. \
