$8.5M Nuance Communications MOVEit data breach class action settlement

Nuance Communications agreed to pay $8.5 million as part of a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it failed to protect consumer data in the MOVEit data breach.

The Nuance settlement benefits individuals who received a data breach notification from Nuance Communications informing them that their personal information was included in files affected by the MOVEit data breach between May 27 and May 31, 2023.

In September 2023, Nuance notified customers that their information may have been compromised in the MOVEit data breach, which reportedly compromised the information of millions of individuals, including patients, employees and customers of companies that use MOVEit. According to a class action lawsuit, Nuance failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures and failed to warn consumers about the breach in a timely manner.

Nuance Communications is a health care technology company that provides services such as clinical documentation, ambient clinical intelligence and AI-powered medical imaging. MOVEit is a third-party file transfer software used by Nuance and other companies.

Nuance has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to an $8.5 million class action settlement to resolve the allegations.

Under the terms of the Nuance settlement, class members can receive either reimbursement for ordinary and extraordinary losses or an alternative cash payment.

Class members who experienced losses as a result of the data breach can receive up to $2,500 for ordinary losses and up to $10,000 for extraordinary losses. Ordinary losses include bank fees, communication charges, credit expenses and up to four hours of lost time at a rate of $25 per hour. Extraordinary losses include unreimbursed fraudulent charges, identity theft damages and other documented monetary losses.

Class members who did not experience losses or who did not wish to claim reimbursement for losses can receive an alternative cash payment of $100. This payment may be reduced or increased depending on the number of claims filed with the settlement.

All class members can receive two years of credit monitoring, medical data monitoring and identity theft protection services.

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

The final approval hearing for the MOVEit data breach settlement is scheduled for March 31, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Dec. 24, 2025.
