A US-based healthcare firm just disclosed a cybersecurity incident that may have compromised the data of tens of thousands of Americans.
In a new filing with the Office of the Maine Attorney General, the Ohio-based Counseling Center of Wayne and Holmes Counties says 83,354 people are affected by a network breach.
The center says an “unauthorized entity” accessed its system and may have stolen personal and medical data including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state identification numbers, health insurance information, medical condition information, treatment provider names, medical record numbers, treatment cost information and diagnosis/treatment information.
“On March 3, 2025, we were alerted to suspicious activity by our third-party service provider after experiencing a disruption in our systems. Upon learning this, we immediately began an internal investigation, and started taking steps to identify, contain, and address any unauthorized activity.
We removed any systems we believed were impacted, reset account credentials, and engaged leading data security and privacy professionals to assist in a thorough forensic investigation.”
The Counseling Center of Wayne and Holmes Counties is a behavioral healthcare provider that focuses on comprehensive mental health, including counseling and support services for various emotional problems.
The organization says it abruptly sent notification letters to impacted individuals, while urging victims to be on the lookout for incidents of fraud and identity theft by reviewing account statements.
To date, the center says it has seen no evidence that a victim’s personal data has been used for identity theft or fraud.
