Last day for Americans to claim up to $5,000 from Fidelity data breach settlement
Eligible Fidelity Investments customers have until the end of July 27, 2026, to file claims in a $2.5 million class-action settlement tied to a 2024 data breach. The breach, occurring between August 17-19, 2024, exposed personal information of over 77,000 customers, including account and routing numbers. Plaintiffs alleged Fidelity failed to adequately protect data and delayed notification by about two months. Fidelity denied wrongdoing but agreed to settle. Customers with documented out-of-pocket losses can receive up to $5,000, while those without documented losses may receive a pro rata cash payment estimated around $100. The article also notes that financial firms remain prime cyber targets, citing a separate Coinbase customer data breach in May 2026 where attackers bribed customer support contractors.
