Howard Brown Health Data Breach

If so, your sensitive personal identifiable information may have been stolen!

Howard Brown Health is a Chicago based organization that provides health care to the LGBTQ+ community between 12 clinics. In December of 2025, Howard Brown Health notified the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that their computer network had been breached and highly sensitive patient information exposed at that time. This may include personal identifying information and protected health data, or any combination of both. 

Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds. Health data is especially valuable on the dark web.
