A settlement has been reached with the Fraser Child and Family Center (“Fraser” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about the targeted cyberattack on Fraser's computer systems that occurred in May – June 2024 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained private information may have been accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names; Social Security numbers; dates of birth; addresses; and medical information.
The lawsuit is called In re: Fraser Child and Family Center, Case No. 27-CV-24-12401. It is pending in the District Court for Hennepin County, Minnesota (the “Litigation”). Fraser denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
If you received notice of this Settlement, then Fraser's records indicate that you may be a Class Member and entitled to benefits under the Settlement. Class Members may have also received a previous notice directly from Fraser.
