Fortra File Transfer Software Data Breach Settlement

Defendants used Fortra's file transfer service, which suffered a criminal cyberattack on or about January 30, 2023. The breach resulted in unauthorized access to approximately five million individuals' personal and health insurance information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and health plan details. Defendants are paying $20 million to resolve claims arising from this data incident.

Settlement fund: $20M
Claim deadline: August 29, 2025
Represents: Sandra Kuffrey, Angela Martin, Brandy McGowan

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
