Illumina has agreed to a $9.8 million settlement due to failing to incorporate adequate cybersecurity measures in its products, leading to vulnerabilities that could be exploited by remote attackers. This settlement arises from a lawsuit initiated by a former employee under the False Claims Act, with a portion of the funds allocated to the whistleblower.

Microsoft-owned Nuance has agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit related to the MOVEit Transfer data breach, which exposed the personal information of over 1.2 million individuals. While Nuance denies any liability, the settlement aims to resolve claims that the company failed to secure data against the vulnerabilities exploited by the Clop ransomware gang. The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding cybersecurity and liability in supply-chain breaches.
