Email breach exposes hospice patients

Posted on April 30, 2019 by Dissent

The Bulletin reports:

An employee at Bend-based hospice Partners in Care was the victim of an email phishing attack that exposed the private health information of some patients.

Partners In Care discovered the attack on March 4 and did an “extensive” forensic investigation and manual email review, according to a press release. The unidentified employee’s email account was accessed by the phishing attack from Nov. 17 to Dec. 12, and information contained in emails that could have been exposed may have included patient names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, medical information such as a diagnosis, labs, treatment, medications, insurance information and for a limited number of patients, Social Security numbers.
