  • Patients' Protected Health Information (PHI) was stored on a Microsoft SharePoint® site in violation of the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule?
  • A file containing thousands of credit card personal account numbers was downloaded to an employee's laptop or hard drive?
  • Network physician compensation records were being copied to an iPod?
  • An employee connected to a wireless network at the local coffeehouse was transmitting billing and claims statements containing patient PHI off his laptop via Web mail?
