A privacy breach at the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) in Dallas has led to the termination of several employees and prompted an ongoing investigation.

The breach, which involved unauthorized access to protected health information, personal identifying details, or sensitive data of over 61,000 individuals, has raised serious concerns about the agency’s data security practices.

Upon discovering the breach, HHSC swiftly terminated the employees involved and launched an internal investigation.

The agency is working with relevant authorities to determine the cause of the breach and assess the full extent of the data exposure.

Notifications are being sent to individuals who may have been affected by the incident, although the scope of the breach is still being evaluated.

The HHSC is responsible for administering key state programs, including Medicaid, food assistance, and mental health services, and this breach potentially exposed sensitive information that could lead to identity theft or other security risks for the affected individuals.

This breach is one of the largest in the agency’s history, bringing attention to vulnerabilities in data protection and the challenges of safeguarding personal information within government agencies.

In response, HHSC has implemented additional security measures to prevent future unauthorized access.

The agency has also pledged to keep the public informed about the ongoing investigation.
