The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) recently announced that a four-year data breach has resulted in the personal information of thousands of patients being made public. The data breach included names, addresses, case numbers, case status, referral source information, and region and office information of individuals being publicly accessible from 2021-2025.
