If you are residing in the United States and your PII ("Personally Identifiable Information") was compromised during the Data Incident that is the subject of the Notice of Data Incident published by Defendant, Evening Post Publishing Inc. (EPP), on or about August 8, 2024 and, for the sake of clarity, specifically includes current and former employees, and any other individuals, who received Notice of Data Breach published by Defendant on or about August 21, 2024, you may be a Class Member and eligible for Settlement Benefits. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) anyone who validly excludes themselves from the Settlement; (2) the Judge in this case, and the Judge’s family and staff; and (3) anyone who perpetrated the Data Incident.
If you are a Class Member and wish to receive Settlement Benefits then you must submit a claim form by June 24, 2026.
EPP has agreed to pay for a number of different benefits. All Class Members may claim Credit Monitoring and Identity Theft Protections services and one of two cash payment options.
There is an aggregate cap of $500,000.00 on these payment options. This means that if the total value of payments claimed is over $500,000.00, everyone’s payments will be reduced pro rata so that they add up to $500,000.00. A full description of how this works is available in the Settlement Agreement.
Credit Monitoring and Identity Theft Protection. All Class Members are eligible to enroll in two (2) years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete. This comprehensive service comes with $1 million of medical identity theft insurance, and includes monitoring for:
If anything suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
Lost Time. Class Members who spent time responding to the Data Incident may claim up to three hours, at $20.00 per hour, for a maximum of $60.00. You must have spent the time on tasks related to the Data Incident. Some examples include things like:
Out-of-Pocket Losses. Class Members who incurred actual,documented out-of-pocket losses due to the Data Incident, may submit a claim, not to exceed $3,000.00. The losses must have occurred between March 13, 2024, and June 24, 2026, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
losses because of identity theft or fraud
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your IDs
postage to contact banks by mail
You need to provide documented proof, like bank statements or receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. You can also provide notes or papers you made yourself to explain or support other proof, but those notes or papers alone are not enough to make a valid claim. Your proof or notes should show that your expenses were because of the Data Incident.
Alternative Cash Payment. Instead of a payment for either Out-of-Pocket Losses or Lost Time, you may claim a one-time $40.00 cash payment. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim this payment.
