Software company Blackbaud agreed to pay $49.5 million in a multistate settlement addressing charges related to a 2020 cyberattack that exposed the personal data of approximately 13,000 consumers.
As part of the agreement including 49 states and the District of Columbia, Indiana will receive the largest share at $3.6 million, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced in a press release earlier this month.
