A major breach of PHI was announced by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon's office on Jun 1. There are so many things about this case from the fact that it involved a malicious insider to how many different ways proper HIPAA policies and procedures would have stopped it, if not prevented it completely. Celebrity patients records breached in this case may make it hit home with a lot of folks who haven't worried too much about those protections until now.

We have talked about insiders as a major vulnerability a lot lately and this one really makes it big news! 15,000 files with medical and personal information. Added to that are pictures including those of celebrity patients records breached without them even know the pictures existed!
