What is the $15 Million Cash App Data Breach Class Action Settlement?
A $15 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit involving Cash App, addressing a data breach that exposed customer information. The lawsuit, Salinas v. Block, Inc. and Cash App Investing, LLC, alleges that Block, Inc. and Cash App Investing, LLC were negligent, made false statements, and failed to meet their obligations to users. The class action addresses three main issues:
- A data security breach disclosed by Cash App Investing in April 2022.
- A data security breach disclosed by Block in October 2023.
- Allegations of unauthorized or fraudulent withdrawals and transfers, and issues with resolving complaints related to Cash App accounts and linked accounts.
How Do I Qualify for a Payout?
You may qualify for a payout if you are a current or former user of Cash App, Cash App Investing, or their affiliated companies, and if:
- Your personal information or account was accessed without authorization, or
- You experienced unauthorized or fraudulent withdrawals or fund transfers, or
- You encountered unresolved errors in your Cash App account or linked accounts between August 23, 2018, and August 20, 2024.
If you meet these criteria, you can file a claim to be part of the class action settlement. To qualify, you must submit a valid Claim Form by the deadline of November 18, 2024.
How Much Can I Receive?
The amount you may receive will depend on the number of valid claims submitted and the specific losses you experienced. The settlement aims to cover out-of-pocket losses, lost time, or transaction losses, but the final payout per claimant will be based on the total number of claims and the $15 million settlement fund.
