"ARC Community Services, a women’s services agency in Madison, WI, has recently announced that patient and employee information was compromised in a security incident on November 1, 2024. Cybersecurity experts were engaged to investigate the security incident and confirmed that certain data may have been viewed or acquired by an unauthorized third party.

ARC Community Services has published a statement on its website to warn patients and employees about the security incident, which is still under investigation to determine the number of individuals affected and the types of data involved. When that process concludes, individual notifications will be issued to the affected individuals who will be provided with further information and resources. The breach has been reported to the HHS’ Office for Civil Rights using a placeholder figure of 501 affected individuals and will be updated when the file review is concluded."
