In 2023, a major data breach hit WebTPA, a company that manages health plans for employers and hospitals. The cyberattack exposed sensitive information of thousands of individuals across the U.S., including names, birth dates, and possibly medical details.
Now, WebTPA has agreed to pay $13.75 million as part of a class action lawsuit settlement to compensate affected people.
What Happened in the WebTPA Data Breach?
Between April 18 and April 23, 2023, hackers gained access to WebTPA’s systems. The exposed data may have included:
- Full names
- Dates of birth
- Social Security numbers
- Medical-related information
The breach affected people across the United States. If you received a notification from WebTPA saying your data was exposed, you may be eligible for compensation.
What Was the Lawsuit About?
A class action lawsuit accused WebTPA of not doing enough to protect personal data. The claims were:
- WebTPA failed to use reasonable cybersecurity measures.

Although WebTPA did not admit any wrongdoing, the company has agreed to settle the lawsuit with a $13.75 million fund.
