A Newcourse Communications settlement provides free credit monitoring and additional expense reimbursement to consumers affected by a 2022 data breach.
The settlement benefits individuals whose Social Security numbers were compromised in a 2022 Newcourse Communications data breach and who received a mailed data breach notification in October 2022.
The settlement also benefits consumers whose Social Security numbers were not compromised by the breach but who received a mailed data breach notification and asserted a claim for data breach damages against Newcourse and/or First United Bank due to the misuse of their information.
The Newcourse data breach allegedly occurred between April 27, 2022, and May 3, 2022, and compromised sensitive consumer information, such as Social Security numbers. Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim Newcourse failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures before the breach and later failed to inform them of the breach until October 2022.
Newcourse Communications provides data-processing and print-and-mail services to numerous clients, including First United Bank.
Newcourse hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $600,000 to affected consumers to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the Newcourse Communications settlement, class members can receive two years of free identity theft monitoring services. This service includes three-bureau monitoring and $1 million in insurance coverage.
Class members can also receive up to $500 for ordinary data breach expenses, such as bank fees, travel expenses, credit costs and up to five hours of lost time compensated at a rate of $20 per hour. Individuals who were the victims of actual, documented identity theft can receive additional reimbursement of up to $4,000 for unreimbursed financial losses they suffered as a result of the data breach and subsequent identity theft.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is July 10, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Oct. 11, 2024.
To receive Newcourse Communications settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Aug. 24, 2024.
