A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Centrelake Medical Group, Inc. (“Centrelake” or “Defendant”) relating to the allegations that in early 2019, cybercriminals bypassed the Centrelake’s cybersecurity systems undetected and encrypted data as part of a ransomware attack (“Data Incident”). Plaintiffs further allege that, because of the Data Incident, the criminals potentially gained access to Plaintiffs’ and other consumers’ personal information, including but not limited to names, dates of birth, and Social Security Numbers (collectively, “PII”). Centrelake disagrees with Plaintiffs’ claims and denies any liability or wrongdoing.
If you received a notification from Defendant of the Data Incident on or about April 16, 2019, via email or mailed postcard, you are included in this Settlement as a “Settlement Class Member.”
The Settlement provides two years of CyEx Medical Shield with credit monitoring as well as cash payments to Settlement Class Members who timely submit valid claims.
Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you do or do not act.
