$1.5M One Brooklyn Health System data breach class action settlement

One Brooklyn Health System agreed to pay $1.5 million to resolve claims it failed to prevent a 2022 data breach that compromised patient information.

The One Brooklyn Health System settlement benefits individuals whose personal information may have been compromised, accessed or involved in the One Brooklyn Health System data breach between July 9, 2022, and Nov. 19, 2022.

According to the class action lawsuit, the One Brooklyn Health System breach allegedly compromised sensitive patient information including names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, birth dates, financial account information, medical treatments and health insurance information. Plaintiffs argue that the health system should have done more to protect patient information from the cyberattack.

One Brooklyn Health System is a health system in Brooklyn, New York, that provides care to over 400,000 patients annually. One Brooklyn Health System has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $1.5 million settlement to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the One Brooklyn Health System settlement, class members can receive either a cash payment or credit monitoring services. The cash payment is pro-rata and therefore determined by the final number of claimants. Identity theft protection services include three-bureau monitoring, identity restoration services and $1 million in identity theft insurance.

Class members who experienced out-of-pocket expenses or losses due to the data breach can receive up to $2,500 for documented expenses such as bank fees, communication charges, credit expenses and travel costs in the main. Also included is four hours of lost time at a rate of $25 per hour for a total of $100.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Jan. 24, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the One Brooklyn Health System data breach settlement is scheduled for Feb. 26, 2025.

In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by March 10, 2025.
