If your personal information was exposed in the February 2025 Bell Ambulance data breach, you may qualify for benefits from a $2,000,000 class action settlement.
The lawsuit alleges Bell Ambulance failed to adequately protect sensitive medical and personal data during a targeted cyberattack. Bell Ambulance denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation.
