Why did this class action settlement happen?

The class action lawsuit alleged a third-party cyberattack on CSC ServiceWorks Inc.’s network between Sept. 23, 2023, and Feb. 4, 2024, compromised customer data. The plaintiffs claimed negligence, breach of implied contracts and unjust enrichment.

CSC ServiceWorks Inc. denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk and uncertainty of further litigation.
