A class action lawsuit has been initiated by members of SAG-AFTRA in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, targeting the health plan following a significant data breach that compromised sensitive personal information. The complaint alleges that the health plan failed to adequately protect the data of its members, resulting in unauthorized access to confidential information.
The breach reportedly exposed a range of personal details, including social security numbers, medical records, and financial information. This incident has raised serious concerns among union members about the security measures in place to safeguard their data. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit are seeking damages for the distress caused by the breach and are calling for enhanced security protocols to prevent future incidents.
The union has emphasized the importance of data security and the responsibility of health plan administrators to protect member information. As the case unfolds, it highlights the growing issue of data breaches across various sectors and the need for stronger protections in the digital age.
