What Happened?
QPharma experienced a targeted cyberattack on its network in December 2024. A forensic investigation determined that an unauthorized actor may have accessed files containing personal information, and QPharma later began notifying affected individuals.According to court documents, approximately 937 individuals are covered by the settlement. The information involved varied by person and may have included names and other personal identifiers contained in QPharma's files. If you received a notice letter from QPharma about this incident, your information was among the data the company identified as potentially affected.
Who Qualifies?
The settlement class includes United States residents whose personal information was potentially compromised in the December 2024 QPharma data incident and who were sent notice of the breach. In practical terms, if QPharma mailed or emailed you a breach notice about this incident, you are a class member and may file a claim.You will need the unique ID and PIN printed on your notice to log in to the claim portal, so keep that notice handy. If you believe you were affected but cannot locate your ID or PIN, you can request help through the official settlement website's contact page.
How Much Can You Get?
The settlement lets eligible class members seek reimbursement for losses tied to the breach, plus credit monitoring.Ordinary out-of-pocket losses (up to $750). You can claim up to $750 for documented ordinary losses fairly traceable to the breach. These can include fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit; the cost of replacing identification documents; and postage spent contacting banks or other institutions about the breach.
Extraordinary losses (up to $5,000). If you experienced identity theft or fraud as a result of the breach, you can claim up to $5,000 for documented extraordinary losses, such as unreimbursed fraudulent charges, fees, and other costs that were not covered by a bank or insurer. You must provide documentation showing the loss and that it was connected to the breach.
Credit monitoring. Class members may also claim credit monitoring services to help watch for misuse of their information. Check the official settlement website for the term and enrollment details.
Is Proof Required?
Yes. Filing online requires you to enter the unique ID and PIN printed on the notice QPharma sent you, so the page is marked proof required. A claimant who never received a notice, or who discarded it, cannot file online without first requesting that information through the official settlement website.Beyond the ID and PIN, the reimbursement options require supporting documentation. To claim ordinary or extraordinary losses, you must submit records — receipts, bank or credit card statements, or similar documents — showing the loss and that it was tied to the breach.
