Overview
ZOLL Medical Corporation agreed to pay $3.5 million to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging it failed to adequately protect sensitive personal information. The suit, Smith et al. v. ZOLL Medical Corporation, is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The plaintiffs allege that between January 22 and January 24, 2023, an unauthorized party accessed ZOLL's internal computer network in a data incident that may have involved personal information. ZOLL denies wrongdoing and the court has not decided who is right; the company agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.
