DePaul Industries

DePaul Industries, also known as DePaul Industries, is headquartered in the United States of America. The organization operates a behavioral health program that serves clients across the country. This program provides services to individuals seeking behavioral health support. The program involves the collection and storage of personal information, including names and dates of birth. In certain cases, Social Security numbers are also retained as part of client records. The organization’s activities are focused on delivering behavioral health care within the United States.

In February 2019, a phishing attack compromised an employee email account at DePaul Industries. The breach potentially exposed information from approximately 41,000 clients of its behavioral health program. While most of the affected emails did not contain significant medical or identity theft‑related data, a small subset included full names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. Upon discovery, the organization notified the impacted individuals about the incident. Those clients whose Social Security numbers were exposed were offered one year of credit monitoring services. After securing the compromised email account, DePaul Industries provided additional anti‑phishing training to its staff. These steps reflect the organization’s approach to incident response and client protection following a security event.
