Indianapolis-based Eskenazi Health has agreed to a $2.5 million settlement over a 2021 data breach.
An Indiana judge approved the settlement in November after a patient brought a class-action lawsuit three years earlier. Hackers accessed Eskenazi's IT systems around May 2021 and may have compromised the data of about 160,000 patients. Individuals have until Jan. 27 to submit a claim.
Eskenazi Health denied any wrongdoing. Becker's reached out to the health system for comment.
