Background of the Lawsuit
A class action lawsuit was brought against McLaren Health Care Corp. alleging that unauthorized third parties gained access to the company’s network in two separate data breach incidents. The first breach occurred between July 28, 2023 and August 23, 2023; the second between July 17, 2024 and August 3, 2024. Plaintiffs alleged that personally identifying information and protected health information of current and former patients was exfiltrated during these breaches.
Plaintiffs claimed McLaren failed to adequately protect their Private Information. McLaren denies any wrongdoing and has made no admission of liability. No court determination of wrongdoing has been made. The parties agreed to settle the lawsuit following mediation, with McLaren establishing a $14 million settlement fund plus enhanced cybersecurity measures.
