What happened
California Casualty's computer systems were hit by a targeted cyberattack in September 2025, and files containing personal information such as names, medical information, Social Security numbers, and financial account numbers may have been accessed. The lawsuit claims California Casualty failed to protect that information; California Casualty denies any wrongdoing, and the court has not decided who is right. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the costs and risks of continuing litigation.
