Forefront Dermatology reached a $3.75 settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit stemming from a May 2021 healthcare data breach.
The breach impacted more than 2.4 million individuals.
An unauthorized party accessed Forefront Dermatology’s IT network.
Files compromised contained names, birth dates, patient account numbers, addresses, dates of service, provider names, medical treatment information, and medical record numbers.
Impacted patients and employees were harmed in the form of the loss of the benefit of their bargain, out-of-pocket expenses, loss of privacy, and loss of the value of their time reasonably incurred to remedy or to mitigate the effects of the attack.
