“The Delaware Division of Developmental Disabilities Services (DDDS) is announcing today that it is mailing letters to service recipients and legal guardians who were impacted by a recent data breach incident and is providing information to the public regarding the incident. “
“On August 23, 2022, staff within the DDDS discovered that in the process of creating new user accounts in the division’s client database, DDDS staff inadvertently provided access to individual records of 7074 individuals. As a result of these actions, 159 new users had potential access to service recipients’ personal, identifiable information and protected health information as well as potential access to more detailed information through accessed accounts. “
“A thorough investigation of the incident was conducted. Using forensic analysis available through the software’s vendor, the division has been able to determine how many users accessed information not intended for their use, and which service recipient records were opened and viewed. While the division has determined that only 12 detailed records were actively accessed, certain personal, identifiable information and protected health information was passively available to any user with the erroneous access level. The software vendor is unable to determine who may have passively viewed this information. “
