Why did this class action settlement happen?

The class action lawsuit alleged a targeted cyberattack on Pediatric Home Service’s computer systems in November 2024 compromised the private and protected health information. The plaintiffs claimed the company failed to adequately protect private and protected health information, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, medical and health insurance details.

Pediatric Home denied the allegations but agreed to settle to avoid the expense and risk of continued litigation.
