Alabama's Sarrell Dental Center suffered a ransomware attack that affected the records of almost 400,000 patients.  Some patients sued in a putative class action, but a federal judge has dismissed the suit, noting that actual damages haven't been shown since the records were not copied, downloaded or removed. 

As my UTD students know, f you can't show damages, you can't bring a negligence claim.
