Cash App has been mandated to pay $15 million to users affected by a security breach that compromised millions of personal data records. This incident happened when a former employee of Cash App accessed user information without consent. The December 2021 breach led to the unauthorized public exposure of personally identifiable information belonging to 8.2 million current and former customers of Cash App Investing, as stated in the lawsuit. Plaintiffs have accused Cash App Investing and Block of not taking adequate measures to protect consumer data. Users are now eligible for compensation up to $2,500 for any unauthorized or fraudulent activities on their accounts from August 23, 2018, through August 20, 2024. However, those who have already received reimbursement from Block, Cash App Investing, or other third parties do not qualify for this claim. Users can submit claims for out-of-pocket expenses, lost time (up to three hours at a rate of $25 per hour), and transaction losses if they can demonstrate that their account was impacted by the breach and that they incurred financial losses without reimbursement. Each user should only submit one claim; if they have multiple accounts, all should be included on a single form.
