Good Samaritan Hospital has not admitted any wrongdoing, but agreed to pay to settle the breach. Under the settlement, class members can receive up to $1,500 in cash for breach-related expenses. Those who experienced “extraordinary expenses” can receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement for fraudulent losses, according to the report.
Good Samaritan will also pay $459,921 to make data security improvements.
