"Miami Lakes, FL-based Catholic Health Services has discovered the email accounts of three Catholic Hospice employees have been accessed by unauthorized individuals. Assisted by a third-party computer forensics firm, Catholic Health Services determined on December 1, 2021, that the email accounts contained sensitive data including names, addresses, and one or more of the following data types: demographic information, Social Security numbers, medical information, and treatment history, diagnosis, and other health-related information.

The breach was reported to the HHS’ Office for Civil Rights as affecting 14,986 individuals. Notifications have now been issued and breach victims have been offered complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services, which include a $1, 000,000 identity theft insurance policy."
