Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger and Microsoft’s Nuance Communications have agreed to a $5 million settlement over a 2023 data breach that affected 1.2 million patients.
Patients sued the organizations in a class-action lawsuit after the data of 1.2 million patients was found on a former Nuance employee’s laptop. The ex-staffer has also been criminally charged.
The parties in the lawsuit asked a judge in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to approve the preliminary settlement Sept. 10. Becker’s reached out to Geisinger, while Microsoft declined to comment.
