Perry Johnson & Associates agreed to settle up to $10 million after a breach affected records tied to 13.3 million patients. This is an original TLT brief synthesising 2 outlets (The Daily Hodl, Unchained), with their figures cross-checked, plus live market data, as of Fri, 13 Nov 2026 00:45:04 UTC.
The settlement highlights the financial and regulatory consequences of failing to protect large volumes of sensitive medical information and requires data-security improvements.
- Settlement value reaches up to $10 million
- Daily Hodl reports 13.3 million patients affected
- Security improvements form part of the agreement
- Bitcoin fell 3.53% over 24 hours
The Daily Hodl and Unchained are both included in the figure cross-check for the $10 million amount. However, the supplied Unchained summary concerns an unrelated KAST job listing involving Gemini’s UK and EU staff and explicitly says no deal has been announced. Only The Daily Hodl’s summary identifies the Perry Johnson & Associates healthcare settlement, the 13.3 million-patient figure, the involvement of New York and three other states, and the required security improvements. Consequently, the cross-check indicates agreement on $10 million, but the available Unchained summary does not substantively corroborate the healthcare story or the patient count.
Perry Johnson & Associates and affiliated companies have agreed to a settlement valued at up to $10 million following the exposure of sensitive medical records belonging to 13.3 million patients, according to The Daily Hodl. The company also agreed to strengthen its data-security practices, while officials from New York, Connecticut, Michigan and New Jersey participated in the announcement. The Daily Hodl, citing New York Attorney General Letitia James and officials from the three additional states, said hackers exposed the patient information. The available coverage does not provide details about the breach’s duration, the systems affected, the exact settlement allocation or whether the $10 million figure represents a maximum payment, a regulatory penalty or another component of the agreement.
A figure cross-check lists the $10 million amount as cited by both The Daily Hodl and Unchained. Yet the supplied Unchained summary is unrelated: it describes a KAST job listing about moving Gemini’s UK and EU personnel to KAST and integrating acquired entities, while stating that no deal had been announced. The cross-check therefore indicates a shared dollar figure, but the text provided for Unchained does not independently confirm the settlement terms or the reported exposure involving 13.3 million patients.
The settlement comes amid broader regulatory attention around the handling of large-scale medical and personal data. Under the reported terms, PJ&A and its affiliates will be expected to improve their data-security controls, making implementation of those commitments an important point for state officials and affected patients to monitor. No crypto project, token or blockchain application was identified as part of the development.
The wider crypto market was broadly lower as the breach settlement was reported. Total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.46 trillion, 
Bitcoin was down 3.53% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed reading was 28, corresponding to Fear. With no specific coin tied to the healthcare story, those figures provide market context rather than evidence of a direct connection between the settlement and crypto activity.
