$700K Kannact data breach class action settlement

Kannact agreed to pay $700,000 to resolve claims it failed to protect consumer information in a 2023 data breach.

The Kannact settlement benefits individuals whose information may have been impacted in the Kannact data breach on or around March 13, 2023, including individuals who received a mailed notification letter.

The class action lawsuit claims hackers allegedly gained access to Kannact’s computer systems and stole sensitive consumer information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health insurance information and medical data. The plaintiffs argue Kannact could have prevented the data breach through reasonable cybersecurity measures.

Kannact is a health care company that provides diabetes management, hypertension management and other chronic care solutions.

Kannact hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $700,000 settlement to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Kannact settlement, class members can receive either reimbursement for data breach-related losses or a pro rata cash payment. 

Class members who experienced losses as a result of the data breach can receive up to $5,000 in compensation for losses, such as unreimbursed fraudulent charges, identity theft expenses, bank fees, credit monitoring costs and other documented losses.

Class members who did not experience losses and cannot claim reimbursements can instead receive a pro rata cash payment. Exact payments will vary based on the number of claims filed with the settlement. 

All claimants, regardless of whether they experienced losses, can receive three years of free credit monitoring services from the settlement. These services include three-bureau credit monitoring and at least $1 million in identity theft insurance coverage.

The deadline for exclusion and objection was Nov. 19, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Jan. 22, 2025.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Dec. 19, 2024.
