UT Physicians
A clinic owned by the physician organization of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston improperly sent out mass emails containing the email addresses of many of its patients.
There were 19 such emails, each of which made visible the email addresses of anywhere from 100 to 300 other people. In all, 2,800 email addresses were shared.
The letters to impacted patients went out Tuesday.
The content did not include any individual health information, physical addresses, Social Security numbers, or diagnostic, insurance, or other financial information.
UT Physicians regrets this incident and it encouraged patients who received the email to monitor their accounts and refrain from opening emails from unfamiliar addresses.
