A $6.3 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit involving the Rhode Island RIBridges system. If you received a notice from the State of Rhode Island that your personal information may have been impacted, you could be eligible for cash and medical monitoring.
This post breaks down everything you need to know and how to take action before deadlines pass.
Why is there a lawsuit?
The class action alleges that on or about December 5, 2024, cybercriminals unlawfully accessed sensitive personal information stored in the RIBridges system.
The data potentially exposed includes:
Names, addresses, and dates of birth
