UpdatedJuly 29, 2026
This $1.6 million settlement covers people Hilb Group notified after a 2022–2023 email-account security incident. Claims closed in December 2024; the former administrator site is unavailable and no public approval or payment update was located.
Claims are closed. Claim forms were due December 13, 2024, and a final approval hearing was scheduled for February 3, 2025.
The former administrator site is no longer publicly available, and no final approval order or payment announcement was located in the public materials reviewed. Because a hearing date alone does not establish approval, this page describes the settlement as closed with a stale public status rather than assuming final approval or distribution.
