Convergent Outsourcing Inc., a debt-collection agency, settled a data breach class action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington for $2.45 million. The class action suit against Convergent alleged that the business failed to protect the personal information of over 640,000 individuals. The breach occurred in June 2022.

Plaintiffs alleged that Convergent failed to implement appropriate security measures to protect and secure personal information in its possession, failed to monitor its network for security vulnerabilities, or implemented appropriate security practices.

      I have no idea why you are posting that comment here. You did not leave a voicemail on my number. As it says in the post: “You CANNOT add yourself or file a claim from THIS site (DataBreaches.net). You must go to the official settlement site and follow the directions there.”
