Today as the HHS Office of Civil Rights begins to enforce the federal health data breach notification rule, the agency publicly posted the list of reported breaches affecting 500 or more individuals. The list is available on the HHS’ website and includes the following information:

the entity’s name
state
approximate number of affected individuals
date of breach
type of breach (e.g. theft, misdirected e-mail)
location of information at time of breach (e.g. desktop computer, laptop, paper, mailing).
