Thousands of Americans affected by a data breach at FloridaCentral Credit Union could receive up to $5,000 in compensation.
The credit union agreed to a settlement after hackers accessed sensitive customer information, including Social Security numbers and bank details, through its email system on May 16, 2024.
Under the settlement, eligible customers can claim a flat payment of $100. Those who suffered documented losses, such as identity theft, fraudulent charges, or credit monitoring expenses, can apply for up to $5,000.
FloridaCentral has not admitted wrongdoing but will also provide three years of free credit monitoring, which includes dark web scans, one-bureau monitoring, up to $1 million in ID theft insurance, and full identity recovery support.
To receive the payout, affected customers must submit their claims by June 2, 2025. The deadline to opt out or object passed on May 16, 2025, and the final court hearing will be held on June 16, 2025.
This settlement joins other recent cases where Americans can receive payments without proof, such as claims against The Cowboy Channel and compensation for Mazda owners affected by faulty infotainment systems.
