Cyberattacks and data breaches are a growing threat to consumer security. According to cybersecurity firm Astra Security, a cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds, making data breaches one of the most persistent threats consumers face.
Under consumer protection laws, data privacy regulations and contractual obligations, companies have a legal obligation to safeguard sensitive information. If a company fails to protect your data and you suffer harm as a result, they may be held liable.
If a company did not properly safeguard your personally identifiable information, you may be able to pursue a data breach class action lawsuit and could recover out-of-pocket expenses and other damages related to the breach.

What personally identifiable information is stolen in a data breach?
Hackers and identity thieves have become increasingly adept at exploiting sensitive data. As a result, a data breach may expose a wide range of personally identifiable information, including:
- Social Security numbers
- Personal health and treatment information
- Insurance policy numbers
- Personal identifiers (names, birth dates, etc.)
- Contact information
- Financial records
- Bank or credit card information
- Employment details
- Education history
- And other sensitive data
Although individuals should take steps to protect their information, companies have a legal obligation to safeguard the personal data they collect and store. If a company fails to implement reasonable security measures and your information is exposed, you may qualify to participate in a data breach class action lawsuit.

Examples of recent data breach settlements
When companies fail to properly protect consumer information, data breach settlements can reach hundreds of millions of dollars. In recent years, several major companies have agreed to pay substantial compensation to resolve data breach class action lawsuits. For example:
- T-Mobile agreed to pay $350 million to resolve claims related to a 2021 data breach.
- Capital One reached a $190 million data breach settlement to resolve litigation stemming from a 2019 breach.
- AT&T agreed to pay $177 million to resolve lawsuits related to multiple data breaches reported in 2024.
While settlement amounts vary and results are never guaranteed, compensation from a data breach settlement may help consumers recover financial losses, repair damaged credit and address other harms caused by the exposure of personal information.
