Planned Parenthood Montana Data Breach Settlement: Patients Can Claim Up to $5,000

December 13, 2025 — Planned Parenthood of Montana has agreed to pay $400,000 to settle a class action lawsuit over an August 2024 ransomware attack that exposed the personal and medical information of more than 60,000 patients.

What Happened

In late August 2024, a ransomware group called RansomHub broke into Planned Parenthood of Montana's network and stole 93 gigabytes of patient data. The attack occurred between August 24 and August 28, 2024, and wasn't discovered until the hackers left a ransom note.

The stolen data included names, addresses, dates of birth, medical record numbers, health insurance information, provider names, dates of service, diagnoses, treatment information, and prescription details — essentially a complete picture of patients' reproductive healthcare history.

Who's Eligible

You may be eligible if you received a notice from Planned Parenthood of Montana stating that your information was potentially compromised in the August 2024 data breach. Approximately 60,402 individuals are included in the settlement class.

What You Can Claim

The settlement offers multiple forms of compensation:

• Up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses related to the breach (fraud, identity theft, etc.)
• Up to $80 for lost time spent dealing with the breach (4 hours at $20/hour)
• Two years of free medical data monitoring through CyEx Medical Shield Pro, which includes $1 million in medical identity theft insurance

You can claim both monetary compensation and the free monitoring services.

How to File

Visit PPMTSettlement.com and submit a claim form online. You'll need the class member notice ID from your settlement notice. If you received notice but can't find your ID, the site has options to still file.

The deadline to submit a claim is January 12, 2026.

What Happens Next

The court held a final approval hearing on December 15, 2025. Once final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved, payments will be distributed to class members who filed valid claims.
