About Operation Par
Operation Par is a private nonprofit that has been providing addiction and mental health services in Florida since 1970 with more than 400 employees and multiple locations across Pinellas, Pasco and Lee counties.
The organization offers services like medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction, medical detoxification, residential and outpatient treatment, prevention programs and ongoing support services.
What happened?
On June 10, 2025, Operation Par discovered a data security incident affecting certain systems within its network environment. The organization immediately launched an investigation with the help of third-party cybersecurity professionals.
While the investigation is ongoing, it has been confirmed that an unauthorized party may have accessed or acquired sensitive information.
Information Exposed:
- Names
- Addresses
- Dates of birth
- Social Security numbers
- Health insurance information
On July 2, 2025, a group called Worldleaks claimed responsibility for the breach, alleging that 485.2 GB of data and nearly 900,000 files were accessed and posted on the dark web.
Your Rights and Next Steps
If you were a client, employee or otherwise involved with Operation Par, it is important to take steps to protect yourself. Even if there is no current evidence of fraud, the exposure of information such as Social Security numbers and health insurance details can increase the risk of identity theft and other crimes.
Here are some recommended actions:
- Place a fraud alert on your credit file by contacting any of the three major credit bureaus. This is free and will make it harder for someone to open accounts in your name.
- Consider placing a security freeze on your credit report. This prevents credit, loans and services from being approved in your name without your consent.
- Request your free annual credit reports from each of the three major credit reporting agencies and review them for any suspicious activity.
- Monitor your financial accounts and health insurance explanation of benefits statements for unfamiliar charges or claims.
Operation Par has set up a dedicated toll-free response line at 877-495-0947, available Monday through Friday, 9 am to 9 pm Eastern time, for questions about the incident.
