The data was for people who were tested for COVID-19 in the department between June 2020 and last January.
The testing data did not include inmates, but the resulting investigation uncovered the potential release of mental health and financial information for some inmates going back to 2008.
The department’s Mental Health Service Delivery System includes inmates’ names and treatment information. A system that tracks inmates’ financial accounts also may have been breached, and drivers’ license and Social Security numbers for parolees in substance use disorder treatment programs may have also been exposed.
