Federman & Sherwood announces that it has filed a class action on behalf of ClearBalance customers whose confidential information was disclosed to cybercriminals during a data breach involving ClearBalance’s email accounts.

ClearBalance services loans made by banks to patients of healthcare providers. On March 8, 2021, cybercriminals infiltrated ClearBalance’s email account through a successful phishing attack.

Names, tax IDs, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, government-issued ID numbers, telephone numbers, healthcare account numbers, balance amounts, dates of service, ClearBalance loan numbers and balances, personal banking information, clinical information, health insurance information, and full-face photographic images.
