Some of the patients of Legacy Community Health were shown to have fallen victim to email phishing.
Legacy declined to say how many employees at its 15 sites in the Houston area were impacted by the phishing activity in a news release.
In response to this event, Legacy carried out a thorough investigation and enlisted the aid of a cyber-security company.
Legacy sent letters to patients whose information may have been in the email account even though it has no reason to suspect that any patient information has been misused or seen.
