A $7.5 million class action settlement has been reached, resolving claims that a July 2015 data breach exposed personal information stored by the UCLA Health Network.
The UCLA Health class action settlement provides $2 million to pay for unreimbursed loss claims and preventative measure claims. In addition, UCLA Heath has agreed to set up a cybersecurity enhancement fund of $5.5 million.
Class Members include those whose personal information was exposed or could have been exposed to hackers in the data breach affecting the UCLA Health Network in 2015.
The UCLA Health Network is an academic medical center that serves the Los Angeles area, including a primary care network and a number of hospitals.
Lead plaintiffs accused the institution of failing to adequately protect information it obtained from patients, allowing hackers to access sensitive and personal information.
According to the class action lawsuit, the UCLA Health Network was subject to a cyber-intrusion incident possibly affecting up to 4.5 million current and former patients.
On July 17, 2015, the board of Reagents issued a notice of the UCLA Health data breach. Plaintiffs alleged that, in failing to protect their and other Class Membersโ personal information, the UCLA Health Network violated California consumer privacy and protection laws.

Additionally, UCLA Health has agreed to reimburse Class Members for expenses they incurred attempting to protect themselves from or for losses they suffered due to identity theft and fraud due to information exposed in the data breach.
Further, the health network has agreed to update its cybersecurity policies and practices as a part of the UCLA Health data breach class action settlement.
The enroll in identity theft protection, Class Members must submit a Claim Form with their claim ID number by Sept. 16, 2019.
To submit a claim for preventative measures, Class Members must submit a Claim Form along with documentation of expenses by June 18, 2019.

you must be black
You must be a racistโฆ
What happens when these hackers wait to use the personal info they stole? These criminals donโt use the info immediately. They wait 2 to 3 years sometimes more because they know people will be looking out initially. So even tho we have nothing to file a claim for now what happens if we get hit from UCLAs negligence down the road? How do we recover costs when thereโs a deadline?
If you want to be added in and there is a link to do so, click it and follow the directions. Be sure to jot down what is needed, usually there are multiple ways to claim on this site either with proof or not. Just review the bottom portion and see what you can get either with proof or without. While TopClasdActions.com is the BEST site like these, some of the lawsuits are a heads up for a way to file to come. If you have proof for one (receipt, invoice, etc) you can usually upload it even with a pic on your phone and then upload it straight there. Others require hours or what was done tor YOU to log what you did and how many hours and such. Hope this helps more than the racist comment you got!

Hello UCLA,
I filed my claim on 4/24/2019 online. I was provided a confirmation code and have not heard from anyone.
My personal contact details are included in my enrollment form.
I usually donโt answer unidentified calls however my laptop is hacked again.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Is this only for California residents or others can apply? I have been violated with my medical center by exposing my info to others on the web as a result of this so would this suffice or not?
Add me!
