On Feb. 6, 2025, Family Centers Inc., a nonprofit civic and social services organization based in Greenwich, Conn., discovered that an unauthorized actor had potentially accessed personal and protected health information belonging to individuals associated with the organization. The suspicious activity was first detected on Jan. 30, 2025.

Information compromised in the data breach includes names, driver's license numbers, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, health insurance information and medical information. Family Centers disclosed the data breach to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on March 31, 2025.

The organization also published a Notice of Data Security Incident on its website. The total number of impacted individuals has not been released.

Family Centers Inc.'s response

In addition to required state and federal disclosures, FCI has notified affected individuals. Family Centers set up a toll-free call center to answer questions about the data breach at 855-932-6459, Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST.

If you receive a notice from Family Centers Inc about this breach, you may want to:

Sign up for free credit monitoring services, if offered.
Monitor your credit reports and financial accounts for any unusual activity.
Be alert for phishing emails or phone calls that may use your exposed information.
Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with major credit bureaus.

More information about their mission and services can be found on the Family Centers website.

Protect Your Data

A breach notice means your personal details could be circulating far beyond the organization involved. One practical step is continuous monitoring: services such as Identity Defender (included with an ExpressVPN subscription) can automatically check dark-web markets, flag new credit-file activity, and request removal of your information from data-broker sites.

This kind of “early-warning system” can’t undo a breach, but it can help you spot misuse quickly and limit further exposure. ExpressVPN is offering 61% off, risk-free for 30 days, with ID Theft Insurance included and no extra cost for those who sign up for one or two years.
