A settlement has been reached with Thompson Coburn LLP (“Thompson Coburn” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about the targeted cyberattack on Thompson Coburn's computer systems that occurred in May 2024 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files were accessed that may have contained personal information such as name; date of birth; protected health information; health insurance information; prescription/treatment information; clinical information; medical provider information; passport number; drivers’ license information; and Social Security number.
The lawsuit is called Salazar et al. v. Thompson Coburn LLP, Case No. 2622-CC00320. It is pending in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri (the “Action”). Thompson Coburn denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided in favor of any party. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Action.
