The lawsuit alleged that UKG failed to implement adequate cybersecurity measures, which led to a December 2021 ransomware attack on its Kronos private cloud. The breach affected hospitals and health systems such as Plymouth, Mass.-based Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, Joliet, Ill.-based Amita Health St. Joseph Medical Center (since renamed to Ascension Saint Joseph-Joliet) and Oneonta, N.Y.-based A.O. Fox Hospital, to name a few.
Although the company has admitted no wrongdoing, it agreed to the $6 million settlement.
Under the settlement agreement, class members can receive up to $1,000 for losses related to the data breach.
In addition, UKG will spend $1.5 million to improve its cybersecurity posture.
