An unauthorized third party allegedly accessed sensitive data, putting thousands at risk of fraud and identity theft. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit claim the firm and its IT partner, Reliable Networks, could have prevented the breach with better cybersecurity protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berry Dunn is a well-established accounting and consulting firm serving industries such as healthcare, government, and nonprofits. Reliable Networks, its IT service provider, was also implicated in the security failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soscip.org\/us\/cash-app-settlement-2025\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1966\">Cash App Settlement 2025: Eligibility, Payout Per Person, and Everything You Need to Know<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soscip.org\/us\/americans-claim-6000-for-data-breach-settlement\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2298\">Americans Can Claim Up to $6,000 for Data Breach Settlement \u2013 Are You Eligible?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soscip.org\/us\/bcbs-settlement-payout-2025\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2078\">BCBS Settlement Payout 2025: When and How You\u2019ll Get Your Payment<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soscip.org\/us\/975k-one-world-observatory-ticket-fee-settlement\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2595\">$975K One World Observatory Ticket Fee Settlement: Who Qualifies and How to Claim Your Share<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soscip.org\/us\/amazon-pay-3-95m-settlement-misleading-tip\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2535\">Amazon to Pay $3.95M in Settlement Over Misleading Tip Practices: What Customers and Drivers Need to Know<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-can-claim-the-settlement\"><strong>Who Can Claim the Settlement?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The settlement benefits individuals whose personal data may have been compromised in the <strong>September 14, 2023 breach<\/strong>.
