The Counseling Center of Wayne and Holmes Counties, a community behavioral health agency based in Ohio, experienced an external system breach (hacking) that was discovered on March 3, 2025. An unauthorized entity gained access to one of the organization's servers on March 2, 2025, and extracted information. The organization began notifying affected individuals in February 2026.
The breach affected 83,354 individuals and exposed protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII). This included names, Social Security Numbers, dates of birth, driver's license or state identification numbers, medical condition information, health insurance information, treatment provider names, medical record numbers, and diagnosis and/or treatment cost information.

The forensic investigation and data analysis concluded in December 2025.
