The Notice may affect your rights – please read it carefully.
The Lawsuit alleges that around June 21, 2022, AllCare Plus Pharmacy LLC, (“AllCare”) became aware that cybercriminals had breached its computer system using phishing emails that targeted the email mailboxes of AllCare’s employees. After a reasonable investigation, AllCare determined that a single mailbox was compromised and certain information was subject to access without authorization and taken from AllCare’s systems. The potentially affected information varied by individual, but included some or all of the following categories of information: names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account information, health information, health insurance information, and information about treatments and prescriptions. AllCare maintains that it had meritorious defenses, and it was prepared to vigorously defend the Lawsuit. The Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that AllCare has violated any laws, but rather the resolution of disputed claims.
