$4.6M Washington Gastroenterology data breach class action settlement

Washington Gastroenterology agreed to a $4.6 million class action settlement to resolve claims it failed to protect patient and employee data in a 2024 cyberattack.

The Washington Gastroenterology settlement benefits individuals in the United States whose private information was compromised in the data breach, including those who received a breach notice.

The data allegedly included names, Social Security numbers, financial and banking information, medical information and health insurance information.

Washington Gastroenterology has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay a $4.6 million class action settlement to resolve the allegations.
