$2.5M Fidelity Data Breach Settlement

Individuals who received a data breach notice from Fidelity Investments stating their financial account number and routing number were compromised between August 17 and August 19, 2024 are eligible.

Class members claiming documented monetary losses must provide receipts, bills, or other third-party documentation (not self-prepared) to support their claim.

About This Settlement

A class action lawsuit alleged that Fidelity Investments failed to prevent a data breach between August 17 and August 19, 2024, that allegedly compromised consumers' financial account numbers and routing numbers. Plaintiffs contended the breach could have been prevented had Fidelity taken reasonable cybersecurity precautions that were available to it. Fidelity has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $2.5 million settlement to resolve these allegations. This page is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
