Etairos Health Data Breach Class Action Settlement

Current and former employees who received a written notice from Etairos Health about a data breach in March 2024 may be eligible to claim up to $4,500 from a class action settlement. The cybersecurity incident compromised the information of approximately 3,259 individuals.

Etairos Health Inc., a provider of home health care services in several Florida cities, agreed to settle a class action. The complaint alleged the company failed to adequately protect the personal information of current and former employees, resulting in a data breach in February 2024.

Why did this class action settlement happen?

The class action lawsuit claimed an unauthorized individual accessed Etairos Health Inc.'s systems and acquired the personally identifiable information of current and former employees in February 2024. The plaintiff alleged Etairos failed to take appropriate care to protect this information and claimed negligence and breach of implied contract.

Etairos denies the allegations but agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of a trial.
