Settlement Documents
Background of the Lawsuit
Between May 31 and June 10, 2023, HopSkipDrive experienced a cybersecurity attack that compromised its computer systems. During the attack, a threat actor accessed database files containing sensitive personal information, including names, addresses, email addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and medical information. HopSkipDrive began notifying affected individuals around November 14, 2023.
Class members filed a lawsuit (Benavides, et al. v. HopSkipDrive, Inc.) alleging that HopSkipDrive failed to adequately protect their personal information and that they were injured as a result. HopSkipDrive denied any wrongdoing and no court determined that any law was violated. The parties agreed to settle the case to avoid the risks and uncertainties of continued litigation.
Under the settlement, HopSkipDrive established a $1,985,000 fund to provide class members with two years of identity theft and fraud monitoring services with up to $1 million in insurance coverage, reimbursements for documented losses and time spent responding to the breach, and additional cash payments.
