On July 16, plaintiffs in a putative class action filed a
motion for preliminary approval of their settlement agreement
with a video game and electronics retailer over a data breach that
occurred between August 2016 and February 2017. The
complaint, filed in September 2017, alleged that a security
breach of the company's servers compromised customer credit and
debit card information. The proposed settlement would provide
reimbursements for the estimated 1.3 million credit and debit cards
that were compromised during the breach. Under the proposed
settlement, class members would be reimbursed $15 per hour spent
replacing cards and $22 per card on which documented fraudulent
charges occurred.
