A Settlement has been reached with St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors System (“St. Andrew's” or “Defendant”) in a proposed class action lawsuit. This case involves a February 2024 cybersecurity incident in which a criminal third party gained unauthorized access to certain of Defendant’s employee email accounts (the “Data Incident”). The PII/PHI of certain individuals may have been impacted in the Data Incident. This information may have included: names; addresses; Social Security numbers; driver’s license numbers; state identification numbers; passport numbers; military identification numbers; financial account information; payment card information; health insurance information; and/or medical information.
The lawsuit is called Barnett, et al. v. St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors System, Case No. 2522-CC09432. It is pending in the Circuit Court for the City of St. Louis, Missouri (the “Litigation”). St. Andrew's denies that it did anything wrong, and denies all claims, allegations, and liability. The Court has not made a determination that St. Andrew’s did anything wrong. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
