Nuance has agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit stemming from the MOVEit Transfer mega-breach. The lawsuit alleged negligence and a failure to secure personal data of around 1.225 million individuals. While plaintiffs maintained that reasonable security measures were not implemented, Nuance contended it had relied on a trusted product and acted quickly by taking steps to address the vulnerability. The company also plans to argue it lacks direct liability, given that the affected data was supplied by other healthcare entities, denying any fault in the matter.
Nuance's proposed settlement of $8.5 million addresses claims that it failed to secure personal information during the MOVEit Transfer mega-breach, impacting 1.225 million individuals.

Nuance countered negligence claims by stating it relied on a trusted product and argued it acted quickly to mitigate the damage once the vulnerability was identified.
