A U.S. federal court ruling this week is the latest setback for plaintiffs in an 8-year-old proposed class action litigation against health insurer CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield in the aftermath of a 2014 cyberattack that affected more than 1.1 million individuals.
The case has had its ups and downs for plaintiffs and CareFirst since the proposed class action was first filed in 2015.
In the ruling on Tuesday, District Judge Christopher Cooper, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, denied the plaintiffs’ motion filed last August to certify three classes.
