Alera Group data breach settlement, compensation and claim questions

How much could a Alera Group data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no Alera Group settlement is confirmed here.

You usually don't have to join a class action to be included — if a settlement is reached, class members are notified and can file a claim.
Can I sue Alera Group over the data breach?
