Why is there a class action settlement?

The class action lawsuit alleged Community Care Alliance experienced a ransomware attack in July 2024 in which hackers accessed files containing unencrypted personal information. The plaintiff claimed Community Care Alliance failed to adequately protect this data, resulting in potential harm to affected individuals.

Community Care Alliance denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation.
