If you are residing in the United States, who were sent notification by HSCG that their Personal Information was or may have been compromised in the targeted cyberattack on HSCG's computer systems that occurred in May 2024 (the “Data Incident”), then you may be an eligible Class Member to file a claim for benefits. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) the Judge in this case, and the Judge’s family and staff; (2) HSCG and related companies and corporate directors; and (3) anyone who timely removes themselves from the Settlement.
If you are a Class Member and wish to receive one or more of the following Settlement Benefits, you must file a Claim Form by October 9, 2025.
HSCG has agreed to establish a $500,000.00 Settlement Fund. Part of the Settlement Fund will be used to pay for expenses like attorneys' fees and costs, the Service Award to the Plaintiffs, and the costs of administering the Settlement. All the rest of the Settlement Fund will be used to pay benefits that Class Members can claim. Class Members are not limited to one benefit, and can claim one or all of them.
Pro Rata Cash Payment: All Class Members may submit a claim for apro rata cash payment. After all expenses and other claims have been paid out, the money remaining in the Settlement Fund will be equally divided among everyone who claimed a pro rata cash payment. Class Counsel expects that these payments will be approximately $50.00 per valid claim.
Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Losses. If the Data Incident caused you real, documented losses, you may file a claim for reimbursement. These expenses must have happened on after May 29, 2024, and must be unreimbursed. You can claim up to $5,000.00. This benefit covers out- of-pocket expenses like:
