Paubox reports:
In October of 2024, Healthcare Services Group (HCSG), a Bensalem, Pennsylvania-based provider of environmental, dining, and nutritional support for healthcare facilities, became aware of a data breach that impacted 624,496 individuals, including employees and patients. Data that was accessed in the breach included names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, state identification numbers, financial account information, full access credentials, and medical and health insurance information.
Multiple class action suits were filed, but they were ultimately consolidated into Williamson, et al. v. Healthcare Services Group, Inc. As part of the settlement, HCSG denies any wrongdoing but determined that a settlement was the best course of action to prevent the uncertainty and costs of a trial. Both parties agreed to a $3 million settlement, which will go towards court and attorney fees, service awards, awards to class members, and taxes. A final fairness hearing is scheduled for September 24th, 2026.
