Top Class Actions viewers report that they are receiving checks worth up to $50 from the ADT security hacking class action settlement.
ADT was hit with multiple class action lawsuits alleging the security company falsely advertised their systems. Specifically, their security systems with a wireless peripheral censor were vulnerable to hacking, but ADT reportedly failed to inform consumers.
According to comments and posts on the TCAÂ Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the ADT security hacking class action settlement started receiving checks worth as much as $50. The claims in the class action settlement were estimated to be either $15 or $45.
Under the terms of the ADT security hacking class action settlement, there were two sets of Class Members. Class Members who contracted with ADT for a security system between July 24, 2014 and Aug. 15, 2016 could claim a cash award of $45. Class Members who contracted with ADT between Nov. 13, 2009 and July 23, 2014 could claim a cash award of $15.
Class Members included current and former customers of ADT who contracted with the company for a residential security system with one or more wireless peripheral sensors between Nov. 13, 2009 and Aug. 15, 2016.
Five complaints were consolidated into the ADT security hacking class action lawsuit. According to the plaintiffs, ADT security systems that utilized wireless peripheral sensors were vulnerable to hackers. Hackers, alleged the class action lawsuit, could disable the security system, but ADT customers were not informed of the vulnerability.
In January 2017, ADT agreed to settle the security hacking class action lawsuit. Although they admitted no liability, ADT agreed to pay $16 million to end the litigation.
The Claim Form deadline was Feb. 26, 2018 and the ADT security hacking class action settlement received final approval on July 22, 2019. No proof of purchase was required beyond the information required on the Claim Form.

46 thoughts onADT Security Hacking Settlement Checks Mailed
I received a notice about the lawsuit and responded on 12/05/17. I received confirmation of my submission being processed, but I never received a check. What can I do?
I have a ADT system iñ my house and a neighbor discussed private encounters that occurred inside my place. ADT doesn’t work and I’ve been robbed of hundreds of thousands $ from my coin collection.
I did a claim on November 17 2017 never received a check
I was in the claim against adt alarm system the letter was sent to me but i did move why didn’t i receive my part of the settlement? How do i inquire about this claim?
Just received my check last week, deposited it the next day, and the check bounced! It wasn’t until after it bounced I looked at the dates on the check. The check is dated 09/16/19 and void after 03/16/20. I called my bank and they said the account is closed. I called the number listed on the back of the check (1-888-439-1531) and its a fax number! I didn’t think to look at the check dates since I’d just received it…lesson learned!
So where did the settlement money go? What is recourse?
Still have check. Passed valid date, but seems others were not able to cash prior to expiration date.
I filed a claim but did not receive a check. I noticed some of the people who got checks they were no good and because they deposited the bad checks it costed them money. I would be ticked off. The phone #’s are disconnected. What? did they keep the money for themselves and take off? Scammers? If anyone knows what’s up please let everyone know.
No I did not get mine
Like others, my check was returned and charged a fee from the bank. I contacted the number listed on the postcard which was just an automated recording. I tried contacting Wells Fargo and they said the routing number and account number wasn’t valid. I then contacted one of the attorney offices listed on the website and they advised me to email the address listed and they had a few others with the same issue. I guess we’ll see what happens!
Hey, how did you contact the attorneys or anyone else? I received messages that number is no longer in use and email address in invalid.
