Healthcare Firm Handing up to $5,000 to Victims After Hack Exposed Full Names, Social Security Numbers, Bank Account Info and Confidential Medical Details

A US healthcare firm has agreed to pay out millions of dollars to settle a class action lawsuit filed over a data breach.

According to the settlement administrator’s portal, Alabama Cardiology Group will pay $2.225 million to settle the lawsuit accusing it of negligence in the handling of patients’ data.

Under the settlement, individuals who provide documentation proving they suffered out-of-pocket losses directly linked to the data breach could receive up to $5,000.

There will also be a flat cash payment that will be provided on a pro rata basis. Additionally, victims of the data breach are eligible to receive free credit monitoring services for two years.

The data breach, which impacted more than 280,000 people, happened in July of 2024 after an unauthorized user hacked Alabama Cardiology Group’s computer systems and accessed highly sensitive personal, medical and financial information.

This includes full names, social security numbers, confidential medical information such as laboratory test results, treatments, prescriptions, dates of service as well as credit card, debit card and bank account information.

Claims must be submitted by March 6th of 2026. A final approval hearing will be held on March 20th of 2026.

Despite the settlement, no court of law has ruled either in favor of Alabama Cardiology Group or the data breach victims.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut.

In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market.
