Patients of Advocate Aurora could soon receive compensation as the hospital recently agreed to settle a lawsuit concerning a data breach.
Advocate Aurora has consented to a $12 million settlement to resolve claims that their patient information was left vulnerable due to the presence of tracking apps on their website.
While the hospital asserted its intention to better understand patient needs, these apps inadvertently exposed the personal information of approximately 2.5 million individuals.
Affected individuals are expected to receive compensation checks amounting to $50 from Advocate Aurora.
