If You Were Impacted by the February 2024 Prudential Financial Data Breach, a Proposed Class Action Settlement May Affect Your Rights and Entitle You to a Cash Payment.
A Settlement has been reached with the Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This class action lawsuit concerned the cyberattack on certain of Prudential's systems that occurred in February 2024 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained private information were accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names; dates of birth; account numbers; Social Security numbers; driver’s license numbers; addresses; phone numbers; email addresses.
The lawsuit is called In Re: Prudential Financial, Inc. Data Breach Litigation, Case No. 2:24- cv-06818, pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Litigation”).
Prudential denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right.
The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the litigation.
If you received notice from the Settlement Administator, then Prudential's records indicate that you are a Class Member, and entitled to benefits under the Settlement. You may have received a previous notice directly from Prudential.
Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Please read this website and the Notice carefully and completely.
