Talbert House agreed to a class action settlement to resolve claims it failed to prevent a 2021 data breach.
The settlement benefits individuals whose private information was potentially compromised through the 2021 Talbert House data breach. The settlement also includes a subclass of individuals whose Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and/or financial information was compromised during the breach.
In September 2021, Talbert House — a nonprofit based in Cincinnati — announced it had been the target of a data breach. The breach, first identified in June 2021, reportedly compromised the information of clients, employees, partners and third parties. This included protected client health information and the Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and financial information of employees, partners and third parties.
Affected consumers took legal action against the nonprofit, arguing it could have prevented or minimized the impact of the data breach through reasonable cybersecurity measures. By failing to protect the data of clients, employees, partners and third parties, Talbot House allegedly committed negligence that had significant consequences.
Talbert House hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a class action settlement to resolve these allegations. The total settlement amount hasn’t been disclosed in court documents.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a cash payment and free credit-monitoring services. Each class member can receive up to $100 for five hours of lost time at a rate of $20 per hour. Class members can also claim up to $4,000 in unreimbursed expenses and monetary losses. This includes fraudulent charges and expenses related to resolving the consequences of the data breach.
The settlement provides one year of free credit and identity monitoring for all class members and two years of credit monitoring for subclass members. The service offered by the settlement includes one-bureau monitoring for class members and three-bureau monitoring for subclass members. All class members will receive fraud insurance of up to $1 million as part of this benefit.
In addition to providing direct benefits to class members, the settlement provides injunctive relief in the form of security enhancements. Talbert House has agreed to implement several new measures including multi-factor authentication, global password resets, network monitoring, improved security training for employees and more.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Nov. 21, 2022.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Feb. 8, 2023.
In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Dec. 21, 2022.
