Leading cloud software provider Blackbaud has been sued in 23 proposed consumer class action cases in the U.S. and Canada related to the ransomware attack that the company suffered in May 2020.
The organizations impacted by the ransomware attack on Blackbaud include a long list of entities such as charities, non-profits, foundations, and universities from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and the Netherlands.
Blackbaud today confirmed that it has been named as a defendant in 23 putative class suits linked to the May ransomware attack in its 2020 Q3 Quarterly report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
"To date, we have been named as a defendant in 23 putative consumer class action cases alleging harm from the Security Incident," Blackbaud said.
Last month, Blackbaud also confirmed in an 8-K SEC filing that the threat actors behind the May ransomware attack were able to gain access to some customers' unencrypted banking information, login credentials, and social security numbers.
