Two healthcare companies plan to pay $3.3 million to settle a lawsuit over a ransom note that allegedly exposed the personal and medical information of thousands of people.
According to the establishment of the government websiteMt. Baker Imaging and Northwest Radiologists have agreed to resolve data protection complaints that occurred between January 20 and January 25, 2025.
The lawsuit alleges that cybercriminals obtained and leaked the confidential and protected health information of approximately 340,184 individuals.
The plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to implement and maintain data protection requirements, to the detriment of those affected by the incident.
Mt. Baker Imaging and Northwest Radiologists deny wrongdoing and liability but have agreed to settle the lawsuit in all parties to avoid the uncertainty, risk and expense of continuing litigation.
The settlement establishes a $3,300,000 non-reimbursable fund to provide benefits to class members.
These benefits include reimbursement of lost income up to $5,000, financial expenses and two years of Medical Shield Complete Medical identity-theft protection and monitoring through CyEx.
The target group includes all individuals living in the United States whose personal information was either probable or false in the event. The deadline to submit interest is August 19, 2026.
