What the Case Was About

The consolidated class action lawsuit alleged that Mt.

Medical imaging and radiology providers typically hold highly sensitive data, which may include names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health insurance details, and protected health information.

The lawsuit alleged that the defendants did not implement sufficient security measures to prevent the breach and that affected individuals were placed at an elevated risk of identity theft and fraud as a result. Mt. Baker Imaging and Northwest Radiologists have not admitted wrongdoing as part of the settlement.
