Psychiatry of Texas Discloses Patient Data Breach

The compromised data includes a wide range of sensitive materials, spanning Social Security numbers, medical diagnoses, treatment histories, and health insurance details. Some individuals also had their usernames, passwords, and email addresses exposed during the intrusion. Upon discovering the anomaly in late March, the Houston-based practice enlisted cybersecurity specialists to determine the scope of the unauthorized access.

To mitigate potential fallout, the clinic is providing complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services through HaystackID for those whose Social Security numbers were impacted. Patients seeking to confirm if their records were part of the breach may contact the organization’s dedicated assistance line at 855-205-9558, available on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET. Authorities advise affected parties to monitor financial statements closely and report any suspicious activity to the Federal Trade Commission.
