Answer Description

Protected health information (PHI) is any information pertaining to a person's health that is stored by an organization. Things like medicines, health history, diagnoses, symptoms, etc. This information is protected in the US by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). HIPAA requires a media notice if more than 500 individuals are affected by a data breach:

"Covered entities that experience a breach affecting more than 500 residents of a State or jurisdiction are, in addition to notifying the affected individuals, required to provide notice to prominent media outlets serving the State or jurisdiction. Covered entities will likely provide this notification in the form of a press release to appropriate media outlets serving the affected area." - hhs.gov
