What's is the Capital One Data Breach Class Action About?
A $190,000,000 Class Action Settlement has been reached over the hacking of Capital One consumer data. As a result a fund has been created to reimburse people affected by a recent Capital One
data breach. This capital one data breach is massive affecting nearly 100 million consumers, and is similar to an ongoing class action that was settled with equifax over a data breach that resulted in personally identifiable information data leaks.
In July 2019, Capital One announced that it had been the victim of a criminal
cyber attack on its systems. The cyber crime bad actor gained unauthorized access to the personal
information of approximately 98 million U.S. consumers.
The information that have been
hacked included a combination of people's names, addresses, zip codes/postal codes,
phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, self-reported income, credit
scores, credit limits, balances, payment history, contact data, and/or fragments
of transaction data from a total of 23 days during 2016, 2017 and 2018.
The Capital One data breach also result in about 120,000 Social Security numbers and 80,000 linked bank account
numbers being accessed by attackers. This data is deemed extremely sensitive as it is personally identifiable information.
