Triage Staffing Data Breach Settlement: Key Details and Compensation Options In May 2025, Triage Staffing (Triage LLC) experienced a data breach in which cybercriminals potentially accessed sensitive personal information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. The incident led to a class action lawsuit alleging the company failed to adequately protect affected individuals’ data, exposing them to risks of identity theft and fraud.
