At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent CODAC Behavioral Healthcare data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident that involved unauthorized network access, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information of patients and clients.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Massachusetts Attorney General's office states that the CODAC Behavioral Healthcare data breach occurred due to a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized party accessed and copied confidential information from their network. The breach was discovered on July 24, 2024, when suspicious activity was detected within their computer systems. After securing the network, CODAC Behavioral Healthcare worked with cybersecurity experts to investigate the extent of the compromise, completing their review on December 5, 2024. The compromised information includes:

• Names
• Dates of birth
• Medical information
• Health insurance information
• Medical record numbers
• Social Security numbers

Data breach letters were sent out by CODAC Behavioral Healthcare on January 17, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach
