Healthcare Firm Handing up to $5,000 to Victims After Hack Exposed Full Names, Social Security Numbers, Bank Account Info and Confidential Medical Details

A US healthcare firm has agreed to pay out millions of dollars to settle a class action lawsuit filed over a data breach.

According to the settlement administrator’s portal, Alabama Cardiology Group will pay $2.225 million to settle the lawsuit accusing it of negligence in the handling of patients’ data.

Under the settlement, individuals who provide documentation proving they suffered out-of-pocket losses directly linked to the data breach could receive up to $5,000.

There will also be a flat cash payment that will be provided on a pro rata basis. Additionally, victims of the data breach are eligible to receive free credit monitoring services for two years.

The data breach, which impacted more than 280,000 people, happened in July of 2024 after an unauthorized user hacked Alabama Cardiology Group’s computer systems and accessed highly sensitive personal, medical and financial information.

This includes full names, social security numbers, confidential medical information such as laboratory test results, treatments, prescriptions, dates of service as well as credit card, debit card and bank account information.

Claims must be submitted by March 6th of 2026. A final approval hearing will be held on March 20th of 2026.

Despite the settlement, no court of law has ruled either in favor of Alabama Cardiology Group or the data breach victims.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
