The Thriving Mind data breach lawsuit alleged cybercriminals had three days of “unfettered access” to sensitive information stored in the defendant’s computer network due to its lack of adequate cybersecurity safeguards. According to the settlement website, the attack compromised the names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, medical information and health insurance and benefit details of current and former Thriving Mind patients.

As part of the deal, the nonprofit has agreed to make changes to better secure its systems.

A final approval hearing for the Thriving Mind data breach settlement is scheduled for July 29, 2025. It is typically only after a class action settlement receives final approval from the court that benefits and/or cash payments will begin to be distributed to eligible claimants.
