A recent attack by a Russian ransomware-as-a-service group that stole the personal information of 2.5 million patients of McLaren Health Care has triggered at least three proposed federal class action lawsuits in recent days, claiming the healthcare company failed to protect patient privacy.
The lawsuits – which each make similar allegations, including negligence by McLaren – were all filed in the same Michigan federal court by plaintiffs who are – or were – McLaren patients on behalf of themselves and others situated.
