COSTA MESA, Calif., May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit concerning unauthorized access to the computer systems Quality Temporary Services, Inc. ("QTS"), which also does business as Qualified Staffing. A copy of the Settlement is available at www.QualifiedStaffingDataSettlement.com.
The Settlement would resolve a lawsuit in which the Plaintiff alleges that QTS did not maintain proper cybersecurity measures and is therefore responsible for the unauthorized access to its computer systems. QTS denies any wrongdoing. The Court has not decided whether QTS did anything wrong. The parties have still agreed to settle the Lawsuit ("Settlement") to avoid the risks and uncertainties of continued litigation.
Who is included in the Settlement? The Court has decided that everyone who fits this description is a Settlement Class Member: "All persons Qualified Staffing identified as being among those individuals impacted by the Data Incident, including those who were sent notice of the Data Incident." QTS has identified you as a person who may have been impacted by the Data Incident.
What are the Settlement benefits? The Settlement provides for several types of cash payments, including up to $175.00 for lost time reimbursement and up to $7,500.00 for reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs.
