University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center

University of Cincinnati Health (UC Health) suffered from a security breach that saw the email accounts of multiple employees accessed by an unauthorized individual.

An analysis of the compromised email accounts revealed they contained patients’ names, birth dates, medical record numbers, and some clinical information.

A forensic analysis of the UC Health email system was unable to establish whether the attackers opened or copied any emails or email attachments.

UC Health enhanced email security and re-educated employees to help them identify phishing and other malicious emails.
