Hackers targeted a nonprofit mental health service provider in a cybersecurity incident that may have exposed sensitive personal information of at least 113,232 Americans.
The breach at the Virginia-based Richmond Behavioral Health Agency (RBHA) was reported as a “hacking/IT incident,” and RBHA’s network servers were compromised in a late September 2025 attack that affected more than 113,000 people, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The unauthorized access was detected on September 30, 2025, after the hackers infiltrated the network and deployed ransomware that encrypted parts of the system, after which RBHA suspended the attackers’ access.
RBHA’s official breach notification states that while there is currently no “conclusive evidence” that personal data was actually viewed or misused, RBHA has notified affected individuals out of an abundance of caution as the breach may have compromised protected health information.
Data that may be accessed includes names, social security numbers, passport numbers, financial account information, and health records, all of which are classified as personal information and protected health information under federal law.
The breach was significant enough that ransomware attackers claimed responsibility on a dark web data breach site, suggesting that a significant amount of data may have been compromised during the attack.
According to a report in Security Week, a ransomware group named Qilin made the attack on RBHA their own when they added it to a Tor-based leak site.
RBHA has since hired cybersecurity experts, launched an investigation to determine the scope of the breach, and implemented additional safety measures to strengthen network defenses and prevent future incidents.
Affected individuals are advised to monitor their financial accounts and credit reports for suspicious activity, stay informed through official notifications, and consider protective measures such as fraud alerts and credit freezes.
