If your Private Information was compromised in the August 2025 Institute for Human Resources and Services, Inc., Data Breach, a proposed class action Settlement may affect your rights, and entitle you to Benefits and a Cash Payment.
A settlement has been reached with Institute for Human Resources and Services, Inc. (“IHRS” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about the targeted cyberattack on IHRS' computer systems that occurred in August 2025 (the “Data Breach”). Certain files that contained private information were accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names; dates of birth; Social Security numbers/ITIN; driver's license or state ID numbers; medical record numbers; and medical history/condition/treatment/diagnosis information.
The lawsuit is called Tereska v. Institute for Human Resources and Services, Case No. 2026-02353. It is pending in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania (the “Litigation”). IHRS denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation. Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Please read this website carefully and completely.
