Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Data Breach Settlement
Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit related to a data breach at the New York institution. The settlement follows legal action brought against the college over the incident.
Why this matters: Health sciences schools hold the kind of data you really do not want exposed: medical records, health history, financial information, and personal details tied to students and patients. When a breach happens and ends in a class action, it usually means people were harmed enough to organize and sue. A settlement resolves the legal dispute, but it does not tell affected people whether their data is still out there. Institutions that collect sensitive health information need to protect it like the liability it represents.
