Advance Auto Parts data breach class action settlement

Advance Auto Parts agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it failed to prevent a data breach that compromised employee and job applicant information.

The Advance Auto Parts settlement benefits individuals who received a data breach notification from Advance Auto Parts informing them that their private information was potentially compromised in a data breach.

In May 2024, an Advance Auto Parts data breach reportedly compromised the information of 2.3 million job applicants and employees. According to a class action lawsuit against Advance Auto Parts, the company failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect employee and job applicant information.

Advance Auto Parts is an automotive parts retailer with locations across the United States.

Advance Auto Parts has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Advance Auto Parts settlement, class members can receive a cash payment for documented losses related to the data breach. These payments will vary depending on the losses claimed but may be as high as $5,000.

Class members who live in California can also receive a cash payment of around $100 for claims under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). CCPA payments may be increased or decreased depending on the number of claims filed with the settlement.

In addition to cash payments, the settlement also offers two years of credit and identity monitoring through Kroll Essential Monitoring. Class members can opt for an alternative cash payment of around $100 instead of receiving the credit and identity monitoring offered by the settlement.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Sept. 23, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Advance Auto Parts data breach settlement is scheduled for Oct. 23, 2025.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Oct. 8, 2025.
