Welcome to the Settlement Website for the Santiago et al. v. Staten Island University Hospital Proposed Class Action Settlement

A Settlement has been reached with Staten Island University Hospital (“SIUH” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about the targeted cyberattack on the computer systems of The Medibase Group Inc., a provider of healthcare solutions, technical assistance and business office solutions that provided services to SIUH that occurred in January 2024 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained private information were accessed. These files may have contained Personal Information such as full names; dates of birth; Social Security Numbers; hospital admit and discharge dates; outstanding balances; and health insurance information.

The lawsuit is called Belle De Santiago and Elena Girenko v. Staten Island University Hospital, Case No. 25CVE0998. It is pending in the Superior Court of Cherokee County, Georgia (the “Litigation”). SIUH’s computer systems were not impacted, SIUH 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 from the Settlement Administrator, then SIUH's records indicate that you are a Settlement Class Member and entitled to benefits under the Settlement. You may have received a previous notice directly from SIUH about the Data Incident.

Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Please read the Notice carefully and completely.
