PORTLAND, Texas, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Coastal Plains Community MHMR Center (d/b/a Coastal Plains Community Center and Coastal Plains Integrated Health) (“Coastal Plains”), a provider of mental health, developmental disabilities, substance use, and primary care services, confirmed that it experienced a data incident in November 2023 and issued notices to affected individuals and relevant state and federal agencies about the incident.

On November 13, 2023, Coastal Plains discovered suspicious activity on its systems with indicators consistent with a ransomware attack. Coastal Plains immediately began an investigation and took steps to contain the situation, including notifying federal law enforcement and engaging cybersecurity and privacy professionals to assist.

The investigation found evidence that an unauthorized actor accessed the Coastal Plains systems from November 12, 2023, to November 13, 2023, and after extensive document analysis and review, the investigation determined that personal information was potentially accessed and/or acquired. There is currently no evidence that any information has been misused for identity theft or fraud in connection with the incident.

Note that this describes general categories of information identified as present within the affected systems during the incident and likely includes categories that are not relevant to every individual.

Upon becoming aware of the incident, Coastal Plains immediately implemented measures to further improve the security of its systems and practices, including changing access and authentication controls, and enhancing threat monitoring and detection processes. After determining that an unauthorized actor gained access to its systems, Coastal Plains immediately began analyzing the information involved to confirm the identities of potentially affected individuals and notify them. The Coastal Plains team has worked diligently to complete the investigation, add further technical safeguards to existing protections, and bring systems back online as quickly and securely as possible.
