Healthcare Firm Handing up to $5,000 to Victims After Hack Exposed Full Names, Social Security Numbers, Bank Account Info and Confidential Medical Details

A US healthcare firm has agreed to pay out millions of dollars to settle a class action lawsuit filed over a data breach.

According to the settlement administrator’s portal, Alabama Cardiology Group will pay $2.225 million to settle the lawsuit accusing it of negligence in the handling of patients’ data.

Under the settlement, individuals who provide documentation proving they suffered out-of-pocket losses directly linked to the data breach could receive up to $5,000.

There will also be a flat cash payment that will be provided on a pro rata basis. Additionally, victims of the data breach are eligible to receive free credit monitoring services for two years.

The data breach, which impacted more than 280,000 people, happened in July of 2024 after an unauthorized user hacked Alabama Cardiology Group’s computer systems and accessed highly sensitive personal, medical and financial information.

This includes full names, social security numbers, confidential medical information such as laboratory test results, treatments, prescriptions, dates of service as well as credit card, debit card and bank account information.

Claims must be submitted by March 6th of 2026. A final approval hearing will be held on March 20th of 2026.

Despite the settlement, no court of law has ruled either in favor of Alabama Cardiology Group or the data breach victims.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip.

Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence.
