A Philadelphia-based mental health services provider has begun to notify 35,000 individuals that their health and personal information was potentially viewed or stolen by hackers in a data security incident discovered more than six months ago.
In a Sept. 17 statement, Horizon House says that it is informing staff and participants of a data security incident detected on March 5 that “may impact the privacy” of their personal information.
Horizon House says it learned that certain information stored within its environment was potentially “viewed or taken by an unknown actor” between March 2 and March 5. “On or about Sept. 3, after reviewing the potentially impacted files, we confirmed that certain personal information was included in those files,” the statement says.
