An unspecified number of Easton Hospital patients whose data were stolen by hackers in 2014 might be eligible for some compensatation.

Spoiler alert:
Keeping in mind that the court hasn’t approved the settlement yet, it would be:
Up to $250 for out-of-pocket expenses and documented time lost from the breach; or up to $5,000 for losses due to identify fraud or identity theft from the cyberattack.
