Fertility Centers of Illinois (FCI) agreed to a $450,000 settlement to end claims it allowed a 2021 data breach through subpar cybersecurity measures.
Affected consumers filed a class action lawsuit against FCI, arguing that the company should have protected their information through reasonable cybersecurity measures.
The plaintiffs in the case also challenged how long it took for Fertility Centers of Illinois to disclose the data breach. Despite learning of the breach in February 2021, FCI allegedly waited six months to reveal the breach. According to the class action lawsuit, this delay deprived consumers of the chance to take protective action against fraud and identity theft.
FCI hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $450,000 class action settlement to resolve these allegations.
