Fidelity Investments has reached a multi-million-dollar class action settlement related to a data breach that exposed sensitive information of approximately 77,000 customers in August 2024. The breach, which reportedly compromised account and routing numbers, has led to allegations that Fidelity failed to adequately protect customer data. Affected customers who received notification from Fidelity may be eligible for compensation of up to $5,000 for financial harm associated with fraud, identity theft, and other related expenses. Additionally, California residents may receive an extra $50 under the state's Consumer Privacy Act. Claimants must submit documentation to support their claims, and the deadline for filing is set for July 27, 2026. Beyond financial compensation, the settlement offers two years of identity theft protection and credit monitoring services, including up to $1 million in fraud and identity theft insurance coverage. This case is part of a broader trend of settlements linked to recent data breaches, highlighting the ongoing challenges of consumer privacy and data security.
