Lehigh Valley Health Network, a Pennsylvania healthcare system, has agreed to pay a $65 million settlement to victims of a February 2023 ransomware attack. Hackers had exposed sensitive medical information, including nude photos of cancer patients, leading to significant emotional distress and privacy violations.
According to Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky, the law firm representing the victims, the $65 million settlement is the largest per-patient compensation for those affected by a cyberattack.
