Data Exposed
The data held by Key Connections ABA Services, LLC — like that of most organizations that collect customer information — represents a comprehensive profile of affected individuals that, once assembled by bad actors, enables a range of fraudulent activities. The value of this data persists long after the breach is publicly disclosed, and vigilance is warranted for years following an exposure.
Key Connections ABA Services, LLC appears to be a specialized healthcare provider offering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services, primarily for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. As a healthcare and therapy provider, the organization typically collects and stores sensitive patient information, including personal identification details, medical history, clinical notes, treatment records, and health insurance information. In 2025, Key Connections ABA Services, LLC officially reported a data breach to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office. If you received a data breach notification letter in the mail, it means your personal or protected health information was potentially compromised in this incident. This page provides an overview of the event and outlines the specific categories of data that may have been exposed.
Based on the data types reported, affected individuals face:
Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.
What the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal statutes entitle you to recover:
The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.
Once your SSN is exposed, protection becomes an ongoing expense. Plaintiffs in data breach settlements have recovered costs for credit freezes, identity protection subscriptions, and time spent dealing with fraudulent accounts — sometimes covering multiple years of exposure.
HIPAA violations carry civil penalties between $100 and $50,000 per violation. Where a healthcare organization's negligence led to the exposure of protected health information, class members may recover statutory damages in addition to actual losses.
Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.
No. Under Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.
If Key Connections ABA Services, LLC is a covered healthcare entity or business associate under HIPAA, affected patients have additional rights — including the right to an HHS complaint. These HIPAA violations also strengthen civil damages claims. Consult an attorney to understand your full remedies.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Key Connections ABA Services, LLC does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
