Stratfor to settle class action suit over hack

The global security analysis company Strategic Forecasting Inc will settle a class action lawsuit brought by one of its customers over a crippling attack by hackers who stole data of clients including Henry Kissinger, court documents show.

U.S. District Judge Denis Hurley in Central Islip on New York’s Long Island earlier this month gave his stamp of approval to a proposed settlement in a case that was filed in January.
