Thyssenkrupp Materials agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it failed to protect consumer information in a 2020 data breach.
The settlement benefits people who received a notice of data breach from Thyssenkrupp Materials in January 2021 or May 2021.
Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit accused Thyssenkrupp of failing to protect their information in a 2020 data breach. According to consumers, the data breach could have been prevented through reasonable cybersecurity measures.Â
In late 2020, Thyssenkrupp was the victim of a ransomware cyberattack which compromised the information of current and former employees. Sensitive data such as Social Security numbers and bank account information was reportedly accessed in the attack.
Thyssenkrupp hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve these allegations.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive compensation for ordinary losses, lost time and/or ordinary expenses.
The settlement allows consumers to claim up to $200 in ordinary losses. Class members can also receive six hours of lost time at a rate of $25 per hour, for a maximum lost time payment of $150.
Consumers who experienced extraordinary losses as a result of the data breach can receive up to $8,000 for these expenses.Â
All class members can receive two years of TransUnion’s myTrueIdentity credit monitoring and identity theft protection. This service includes $1 million in identity theft insurance along with various other monitoring and protections.
Class members who signed up for two years of myTrueIdentity through Thyssenkrupp’s original offer will receive a one year extension to their services. Class members who did not participate in the company’s original offer will receive two years of the service.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Jan. 23, 2023.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Feb. 27, 2023.
In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by March 8, 2023.
