Settlement: Shields Health Care Group in Worcester, Mass., agreed to pay $15.3 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2022 data breach. More than 2.3 million people were affected.
-
If approved by a federal judge, the settlement allows individuals to receive up to $25,000 for “extraordinary” losses, including unreimbursed expenses that are “fairly traceable” to the incident and are related to misuse of personal information.
-
The settlement doesn't explain how to prove "fairly traceable" harm.
-
That's notable because generally, plaintiffs are facing a higher bar on what constitutes harm when their personal data is exposed.
