Division of Aging Services Data Breach (2015)

Georgia Division of Aging Services Accidental disclosure. The personal data of approximately 3,000 clients of the Community Care Services Program in Georgia was potentially compromised June 8 after the Division of Aging Services accidentally emailed the information to a contracted provider not authorized to view the information. The recipients of the email did not access the information, and all affected clients have been notified. An encrypted email containing the personal information was inadvertently sent to the Fuqua Center for Late-Life Depression at Emory University on June 8. The incident was discovered on June 9. Two of the three recipients deleted the email on June 10 and the third deleted it on June 11.
