What Is the MHMR Authority of Brazos Valley Data Breach About?
MHMR Authority of Brazos Valley is a health organization that serves patients who have mental illnesses, intellectual disabilities or developmental disabilities. In May of 2023, it was discovered that MHMR’s internal computer system had been accessed by a hacker, and sensitive patient data had been exposed. The information stolen may be different from person to person, but the notice letter sent out says it could include the following personally sensitive and identifiable information:• Full Names,
• Social Security number,
• Driver's license number,
• Confidential Medical History,
• Health insurance information and more.
Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds. The theft of sensitive, protected health information, and personally identifiable information can lead to a plethora of problems for individuals who are the victims of data breaches that occurred in databases they were not even aware of. Typically, the individual that may have been hacked includes sensitive and personally identifiable information.
Data breaches can also result in a long-term erosion of personal data privacy, as the hacked personally identifiable information may be traded or shared amongst cyber-criminals for years to come, on the internet, the dark web, or elsewhere.. This significantly increases the risk of further identity theft, financial fraud and massive headaches for consumers and victims.
