The fundraising software company Blackbaud agreed Thursday to pay $49.5 million to settle claims brought by the attorneys general of 49 states and Washington, D.C., related to a 2020 data breach that exposed sensitive information from 13,000 nonprofits.
Blackbaud said in a statement that it expected to pay the full settlement amounts in October.
Indiana will receive almost $3.6 million under the terms of the settlement, the most of any state, Rokita's office said.
The company agreed to pay a $3 million fine to the SEC but did not admit wrongdoing.
