Benworth Capital data breach class action settlement

Benworth Capital Partners agreed to a class action settlement to resolve claims that it failed to prevent a 2025 data breach that compromised sensitive consumer information.

The Benworth Capital settlement benefits individuals who received a data breach notice from Benworth Capital Partners informing them that their information may have been compromised in a data breach on May 18, 2025.

According to the data breach class action lawsuit, Benworth Capital failed to prevent a 2025 data breach that compromised sensitive consumer information, including Social Security numbers. Plaintiffs say the company could have prevented the Benworth Capital data breach through reasonable cybersecurity measures.

Benworth Capital Partners is a financial services company that offers short-term private hard money loans, cash-out refinancing and other asset-based real estate lending services.

Benworth Capital 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 Benworth Capital settlement, class members can receive payments for either documented or undocumented losses.

Class members who experienced documented losses as a result of the data breach can receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement. This payment option requires documentation, such as receipts, emails and other records.

Class members who experienced undocumented losses as a result of the data breach can receive a smaller payment of $50. No documentation is required for this payment option.

All class members are eligible for one year of free credit monitoring services. Class members can activate these services using a code provided in the settlement notice.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 4, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the Benworth Capital data breach settlement is scheduled for Jan. 15, 2027.
