Home, Hope and Healing, Inc. has posted a notice of a cyber event saying someone gained unauthorized access to its network between November 9, 2025 and November 12, 2025. It later appeared in the Vermont Attorney General’s breach listing on October 8, 2026, which names Social Security numbers, government ID numbers and health records.
If you received a letter from the organization, here is what has been made public so far and what you can do about it.
Home, Hope and Healing, Inc.’s Data Breach Investigation
Home, Hope and Healing, Inc., which the notice abbreviates as HHH, publishes a mailing address in Smithfield, Maine. The Vermont Attorney General’s office classifies it as a health care organization. Organizations in that field keep records that combine identity details with sensitive health information, which is why a network intrusion at one can be serious for the people whose files were held.
According to the organization’s own notice, which it marked as updated on January 8, 2026, HHH learned on or about November 10, 2025 of reports of unusual system activity. It then began working with third-party investigators to determine the nature and scope of the event. The investigation identified signs of unauthorized access to the HHH network between November 9, 2025 and November 12, 2025, and found that during that access certain files may have been copied and taken from the network.
At the time of the notice, HHH said it was still reviewing the files involved to work out what information they contained and to whom it relates. It said that while the review was ongoing, the information involved may include name, address and medical information, and that the investigation was continuing and the notice would be updated as more became known.
Later, the Vermont Attorney General’s security breach notice listing recorded a filing from HHH dated October 8, 2026. That entry classifies the organization as Health Care, lists 3 Vermont residents as affected, and names Social Security numbers, government ID numbers and health records as the categories of data breached. Vermont no longer posts the underlying notice letters, so the listing is the only detail we have for that filing.
The Vermont figure counts only Vermont residents. Organizations that notify people in several states typically file a separate notice with each state regulator that requires one, and each filing reports only that state’s residents. The total number of people affected across all states has not been published in the sources we reviewed, and we are not estimating one.
The notice does not say how the unauthorized party got in, whether the organization has confirmed that data was actually taken rather than only accessible, whether it was contacted by the intruder, or when individual notice letters were mailed. The notice also does not describe credit monitoring or other protection offered to individuals. This page does not guess at any of those points.
The categories named in the listing are significant. A Social Security number or government ID number can be used to open accounts, file false tax returns or pass identity checks, and it cannot easily be replaced. Health records can reveal conditions, treatments and insurance details, and they can be used for medical identity theft or to pressure someone. Because the notice described the review of files as ongoing, the list of data types that applies to any one person may differ from the general list.
If you received a notice from Home, Hope and Healing, Inc., read it closely. The letter is the best source for what applies to you. If you think the organization may have held your records but you have not received anything, you can write to it at the Maine address on its notice, or email the contact address it published, to ask whether your information was involved.
A data breach class action is one way people affected by a security incident can seek accountability from an organization that did not adequately protect their information. Whether a claim makes sense depends on facts that are still emerging in this matter, which is why speaking with a lawyer about your own situation is a reasonable step if you were notified.
When Did This Breach Occur?
According to the organization’s notice, unauthorized access to its network occurred between November 9, 2025 and November 12, 2025. HHH says it learned of reports of unusual system activity on or about November 10, 2025.
The notice was marked as updated on January 8, 2026, and the Vermont Attorney General’s listing shows a filing dated October 8, 2026. The date individual letters were mailed has not been made public in the sources we reviewed.
What Information Was Breached?
HHH’s notice said the information involved may include name, address and medical information, and that its review of the files was ongoing. The Vermont listing names Social Security numbers, government ID numbers and health records as the categories of data breached.
The sources do not say which of these categories applies to which people. Your own notice letter is the best source for what relates to you.
What You Can Do
