Change Healthcare Data Breach Settlement Talks To Be Explored Early in MDL

Posted on December 3, 2024 by Dissent

Irvin Jackson reports:

The potential Change Healthcare settlement talks will get underway early in the litigation, which emerged after a massive data breach was announced in February 2024, when it was disclosed that hackers had gained access to the names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, medical records, insurance details and other sensitive data of up to 100 million individuals.

      That really depends on what kinds of information may have been compromised. If you want to be cautious, follow their advice on putting a security freeze on your credit report, and check your health insurance benefits statements to make sure you recognize all the doctors and services. There is a major lawsuit against them but I doubt most people will stand to get much money unless you can really prove actual harm linked to that breach.
