Quest settled a class action lawsuit against them for a data breach caused by an outside bad actor.  The settlement was less than $200,000, so I'm sure it made financial sense to settle.  But I think this will help feed the class action breach business, which is just bad law when there are no actual damages.  Nobody could show how the accessed data was improperly used, much less any damage anyone actually suffered.  Lots of class action cases are solely about attorneys' fees.
