A US bank has agreed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to compensate its customers after their data fell into the hands of an unauthorized actor.<\/p>\n

According<\/a> to the settlement administrator\u2019s portal, the Savannah, Georgia-based lender, First Chatham Bank, will pay $475,000 to end a class action lawsuit filed following a data breach that happened in September of 2024.<\/p>\n

The breach happened when an unauthorized actor accessed First Chatham Bank\u2019s computer systems and obtained confidential files bearing sensitive customer information.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese files may have contained personal information such as names; addresses; dates of birth; driver\u2019s license numbers; Social Security numbers; financial account numbers; and payment card information.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The amount each victim of the data breach will be decided on a pro rata basis.<\/p>\n

While each settlement class member who files a valid claim is expected to receive an estimated $100, the final figure could rise or fall depending on the number of victims who come forward.<\/p>\n

The named plaintiffs in the data breach lawsuit against First Chatham Bank will also receive a service award.<\/p>\n

Compensation claims must be submitted by June 3rd. A final approval hearing will be held on June 18th.<\/p>\n

Despite agreeing to the settlement, First Chatham Bank denies any wrongdoing. A court of law has also not ruled either in favor of the defendant or the plaintiffs.<\/p>\n
