Henry Schein, a Fortune 500 company that provides healthcare products and services to medical and dental professionals, has agreed to a $2.9 million settlement following a class action lawsuit related to a September 2023 data breach. Plaintiffs allege that Henry Schein failed to adequately protect sensitive personal information, which was compromised during the breach. Approximately 166,432 individuals were impacted.

• Names, addresses, and contact information
• Social Security and government-issued ID numbers
• Financial details, including bank account and credit card information
• Medical history and insurance information
• Employment and background details

While Henry Schein denies any wrongdoing, it has agreed to resolve the claims through this settlement.
