On January 18, 2019, Valley Hope, a Kansas-based alcohol and drug addiction treatment center, revealed that sensitive patient information may have been exposed in an email phishing attack. Information such as patients’ name, address, date of birth, prescription information, Social Security number, financial account information, driver’s license or state identification card number, claim and billing information, health insurance information, medical record number, and doctor’s name may have been exposed.
On October 9, 2018, unidentified hackers accessed a Valley Hope employee's email account that contained patients' personal information. Valley Hope sent emails to the affected individuals alerting them about the breach. It also notified the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights, state regulators, and three major credit reporting agencies to assist in reviewing its existing policies and implementing strict security measures. As a gesture of goodwill, Valley Hope is offering 12 months of free identity monitoring services from Kroll to the affected patients.
