The complaints criticize FHH's cybersecurity measures and the way it handled notifications to affected individuals, arguing that the hospital did not provide necessary information about the breach. Plaintiffs are seeking jury trials and unspecified monetary damages, highlighting the risks of identity theft and fraud for those impacted, while raising questions about the legal requirements for breach disclosures.
The lawsuits accuse FHH of inadequate cybersecurity measures and neglecting its obligation to protect patient data, leading to risks of identity theft.
Plaintiffs argued that the notification letters from FHH lacked critical details regarding the ransomware attack.
