Here's what to do to claim at least $100 if you are one of the 147,000 current and former patients getting a letter:
Within months, at least four class action lawsuits were swiftly filed against Scripps Health for failing to protect patient information from cyber attackers. Those suits combined forces and reached a settlement this year, which a judge preliminarily approved.If you get one of these postcards or letters, you have until March 23rd to visit www.scrippssettlement.com and submit your claim.
All impacted patients can claim at least $100 without proving any financial loss due to the data breach. But if you believe you've suffered damages as a result of the ransomware attack, you can file a claim for up to $7,500. And whether you file a claim or throw it away, you are still eligible for 36 months of cyber credit monitoring on Scripps' tab.
So many folks were impacted by this, and several of our own coworkers here at NBC San Diego got these postcards in the mail, including photojournalist Paul Makarushka. Fortunately, he hasn't suffered any identity theft, at least not yet, but he knows that doesn't mean he's out of the clear. “I want to make sure that nothing happens in the future," said Makarushka."That’s actually one of my big concerns, is that the people who stole all this information are holding on to it. And selling it, and moving it from one place to the next. So maybe nothing happened in 2021, and nothing happened in 2022. I need to be careful in 2023.”
Scripps Health is a $3.1 billion dollar private not-for-profit health system, according to its website. It serves about 700,000 patients a year and operates four acute care hospitals in the San Diego area.
