Wayne Memorial Hospital data incident settlement
Wayne Memorial Hospital in Georgia has settled claims over a cybersecurity incident it discovered on or around June 3, 2024, after files were reachable without authorization between about May 30 and June 3, 2024. If your private information was accessible because of that incident, you may be eligible for reimbursement of documented out-of-pocket losses or an alternate cash payment, and class members are enrolled in credit monitoring. The settlement site does not publish either cash figure. Claims close December 7, 2026, with a final fairness hearing on January 27, 2027. Filing on the official settlement site is free.

Read off the official notice, in its own words. These dates slip — an appeal can move a distribution by a year or more — so treat it as the administrator's plan rather than a schedule.

Bates v. Wayne Memorial Hospital · SUCV2025000239 · Superior Court of Wayne County, Georgia
The settlement offers Cash Payment A for documented out-of-pocket losses and Cash Payment B as an alternate cash payment, and enrolls class members in credit monitoring. Neither the homepage nor the dates page states the fund size or either cash figure, and the long-form notice is published only as a PDF we could not read, so no amount is given here — check the notice before deciding. The online form needs the CPT ID and passcode from the mailed notice, which the administrator will reissue by email.
