One of Canada's largest medical diagnostics lab providers has reached a proposed class action settlement of C$4.9 million for the hack that it suffered back in 2019. In 2019, cybercriminals broke into LifeLabs' network & stole medical records of 8.6 million Canadians.
In its proposed class action settlement, the company stated that:Any Canadian resident who was a LifeLabs customer on or before Dec. 17, 2019 – the day the company announced it had been the target of a data breach – and whose personal information, including lab results, was accessed could receive a cash payment as part of the proposed settlement.Each claimant in the proposed settlement can receive between $50-150 depending on their claim.
It is important to note that the proposed settlement has not yet been approved by the courts, but affected individuals have "the option of participating in the settlement, staying in the class action and objecting to the settlement, or opting out."
