A California financial firm has agreed to a $1.75 million settlement fund over a data breach that may have exposed customer information.<\/p>\n

CUSO Financial Services says<\/a> an unauthorized person got into one employee\u2019s account on a third-party system used to archive communications, as FINRA requires. The access ran from Dec. 19, 2023, to Jan. 19, 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn January 19, 2024, CUSO became aware of suspicious activity involving a third-party service provider which CUSO utilizes for archiving communications, as required by The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (\u2018FINRA\u2019).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The incident may have exposed names, Social Security numbers, medical details, driver\u2019s license numbers, and financial account data for about 76,000 people.<\/p>\n

CUSO is a San Diego broker-dealer that sells investments and other financial products through credit unions.<\/p>\n

CUSO denies wrongdoing. The fund is non-reversionary and is meant to resolve negligence claims.<\/p>\n

Class members can seek up to $5,000 for documented losses, two years of three-bureau credit monitoring, up to $100 for California residents, or a leftover cash payment of up to $599.<\/p>\n

The claim deadline is Nov. 16, 2026. The opt-out deadline is Oct. 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
