A proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit against an Alabama hospital provides a total of up to $150,000 in relief to more than 1,200 individuals affected by a breach involving a former employee who was convicted of identity theft. The former employee was sentenced in December 2014 to two years in prison after pleading guilty to identity theft that was tied to the filing of false tax returns. Plaintiffs are eligible to receive reimbursement for “up to four hours of documented lost time spent dealing with the data theft or alleged identity fraud””]
