potentially massive class action lawsuit for waiting months to tell over 318,000 of their clients that their personal information was stolen by hackers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Empress Ambulance Services also allegedly downplayed the hack by Hive Gang, a notorious ransomware group, telling its customers that only a \u201csmall subset of files\u201d had been stolen \u2014 knowing that the <a

of at least 100,000 had been compromised, as well as medical information, according to the latest lawsuit against the company, filed in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>The hack occurred in late May, but the company did not detect it until July 14 \u2014 then waited until Sept. 9 to tell victims, according to the lawsuit. <\/p>\n<p>Empress also allegedly did not tell its clients that the Hive Gang was the culprit behind the hack despite receiving braggadocios emails from the criminal enterprise, which reportedly became active in June 2021 and has since pocketed over $100 million in ransom payouts from 1,300 companies it targeted globally, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/uscert\/ncas\/alerts\/aa22-321a\">according to the FBI<\/a>.
