Smile Brands agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it failed to prevent a 2021 data breach.

In April 2021, hackers allegedly gained access to Smile Brands’ computer systems, allowing them to steal names, addresses, birth dates, insurance data and other sensitive information from around 1.5 million dental patients. A class action lawsuit against Smile Brands claims that the company did not do enough to protect patient data from third parties.

Smile Brands is a network of nearly 700 affiliated dental offices across 30 states.

Smile Brands hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.
