What Is the Brady Martz Data Breach Settlement?
If you were affected by the November 2022 Brady Martz data breach, then Brady Martz & Associates, P.C. has settled a class action over allegations that an unauthorized third party accessed files containing sensitive personal information due to alleged negligent data security practices.The accounting firm of Brady Martz & Associates (“Brady Martz”) recently notified the Maine Attorney General of a data breach to their internal network which exposed the confidential information of 53,524 individuals. You may be owed up to $5,000 if you qualify for the Brady Martz associates data breach class action lawsuit.
The information that was stolen by hackers may include the following sensitive personally identifiable information:
• Names,
• Dates of birth,
• Driver's license or state ID numbers,
• Health insurance information,
• Medical information,
• And/or Social Security numbers.
Data breaches can also result in a long-term erosion of personal data privacy, as the hacked personally identifiable information may be traded or shared amongst cyber-criminals for years to come, on the internet, the dark web, or elsewhere. This significantly increases the risk of further identity theft, financial fraud and massive headaches for consumers and victims. Information that is hacked can include sensitive personally identifiable information.
