Nucor data breach class action settlement

Nucor Corp. agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it failed to prevent a 2023 data breach that compromised sensitive employee information.

The Nucor data breach settlement benefits individuals who received a notice from Nucor in or around June 2023 informing them their personal information may have been compromised in the data incident.

According to the class action lawsuit, Nucor failed to protect sensitive employee information from a data breach that occurred between approximately May 26, 2023, and June 1, 2023. The breach reportedly compromised names, bank account numbers, routing numbers and other sensitive information.

Nucor is a steel producer and scrap recycler that employs thousands of workers across the country.

The company hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Nucor data breach class action settlement, class members can receive reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket expenses related to the data breach, including but not limited to bank fees, communication charges and credit monitoring expenses. Class members can also be reimbursed for up to four hours of lost time spent addressing data-breach-related issues at a rate of $17.50 per hour. These payments are capped at $750.

Class members who experienced extraordinary losses as a result of the Nucor data breach can receive larger payments of up to $7,500. These payments are available to class members who experienced identity theft or fraud as a result of the data breach.

All class members are eligible for two years of free credit monitoring services even if they already enrolled in the services offered by Nucor.

The deadline for exclusion and objection was Nov. 29, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the Nucor data breach settlement is scheduled for Jan. 13, 2025.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Dec. 30, 2024.
