Covered consumers who submit a timely, valid claim form can request to receive either a $75 cash payment or up to $8,000 in reimbursement for out-of-pocket losses fairly traceable to the Systems East data breach. The $75 cash payment may increase or decrease on a pro-rata basis depending on how many valid claims are filed.
The court will decide whether to grant final approval to the settlement at a hearing set for December 4, 2024. Eligible class members will be issued cash payments after the deal receives final approval and any appeals are resolved.
The class action lawsuit against Systems East claimed the software company failed to take the proper steps to secure its computer network from unauthorized access, which allegedly allowed hackers to steal a database containing customers’ names and payment card information on August 25, 2023. According to the case, Systems East offers cloud-based collections and digital bill payment products, including Xpress-pay.
The defendant has agreed to implement and maintain improved cybersecurity measures as part of the settlement agreement.
