A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Norton Healthcare following a major data breach in 2023.
The breach compromised individuals’ personal information, including social security numbers and financial account numbers. It was deemed one of the worst cyberattacks that year with roughly 2.5 million victims.
Court records show a Jefferson County judge has approved a preliminary settlement in the class action lawsuit.
According to the preliminary agreement, Norton Healthcare has set aside an $11 million to issue payments in the settlement.
Some impacted Norton patients and employees have started receiving notices about the settlement.
To file a claim, impacted individuals must fill out an online form by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, May 18, 2026.
You can also print out and mail the form to the listed address, but it must be postmarked by May 18, 2026.
Under the agreement, members of the class action will receive at least $5 and up to $80 for lost time, up to $2,500 for documented out-of-pocket losses, and three years of medical monitoring services.
“This settlement brings resolution for those potentially affected,” Norton Healthcare spokesperson Renee Murphy said in a statement on Monday. “We look forward to moving forward toward final approval.”
The court has scheduled a final approval hearing for May 15.
