Turnkey Realty data breach $600K class action settlement

Turnkey Realty LLC has promised to pay a total of $600,000 in class action lawsuit settlement payments to those whose personal information may have been compromised in a data security breach.

The settlement class includes any person to whom Turnkey Realty provided notification that his or her personal information might have been compromised in the data breach that occurred on or about Sept. 10, 2021.

Class members also are be eligible to enroll in three years of single-bureau credit monitoring, with $1,000,000 in reimbursement insurance, as well as identity-restoration services.
