What happened
This lawsuit, In re Park Dental Data Breach Litigation, claims that Park Dental failed to adequately protect patient and employee information after unauthorized parties gained access to employee email accounts in January 2024. The affected information may have included names, medical information, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, dates of birth, and financial account or payment card information. The case is pending in Hennepin County, Minnesota.
Park Dental denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties agreed to settle the case to avoid the costs, risks, and uncertainty of continued litigation.
