Drexel Medicine (PA) reported to HHS OCR on 2019-08-07 a Hacking/IT Incident affecting 4,340 individuals (HHS listed count; description notes ~19,750 ePHI records involved). The breach resulted from an email phishing scheme that exposed ePHI including names, Social Security numbers, birthdates, diagnoses, and other treatment information stored in Email systems. The covered entity implemented additional technical safeguards in response. Drexel Medicine has since ceased operations.
