HR management solutions provider Ultimate Kronos Group, or Kronos, has reached a $6 million settlement with healthcare organizations and other organizations across different industries impacted by a data breach that followed a ransomware attack against its Kronos Private Cloud offering in December 2021, HealthITSecurity reports. Such a breach has resulted from UKG’s inadequate cybersecurity measures against ransomware attacks, with the intrusion not only exposing the personal data of workers but also preventing timely and appropriate payments for employees, according to the class action lawsuit.
