MENASHA, Wis., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Samaritan Counseling Center of the Fox Valley ("Samaritan") began providing notice of a data security event that may have impacted the privacy information related to certain residents of Wisconsin.

On November 18, 2024, Samaritan learned of suspicious activity in an employee's email account. In response, Samaritan immediately took steps to secure the affected account and initiated an investigation into the nature and scope of the event with the assistance of third-party computer forensic specialists. Through the investigation, Samaritan determined that an unauthorized actor gained access to employee email accounts and certain information contained therein. Samaritan subsequently conducted a comprehensive review of the data determined to be at risk to identify the type of information at issue and to whom it relates.
