What Is the UBT Data Breach Settlement About?
A settlement has been proposed in a class action against Union Bank and Trust Company (UBT) over the 2023 MOVEit Security Incident. Between May 27 and May 31, 2023, cybercriminals exploited an alleged vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer — a third-party file-transfer tool UBT used in the ordinary course of business — and potentially accessed the personally identifiable information (PII) UBT held. Plaintiffs allege UBT was negligent in its data security practices. UBT denies any allegation of wrongdoing and denies that it would be found liable.Under the settlement, UBT will pay $2,389,976 into a non-reversionary Settlement Fund used to pay valid claims, notice and administration costs, a service award, and attorneys' fees and expenses. The case is Scott v. Union Bank and Trust Co., Case No. 1:23-cv-12436-ADB, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, coordinated with the broader In re: MOVEit Customer Data Security Breach Litigation (MDL No. 1:23-md-03083-ADB). Claims against Progress Software, the maker of MOVEit, are not resolved by this settlement and continue separately.

Who Qualifies?
The Settlement Class is "all persons in the United States whose PII was included in the files affected by the Security Incident." In practice, you are a Settlement Class Member if UBT identified you as someone whose information may have been accessed or exposed and sent you a notice.The following are not included: UBT and any entity it controls, along with UBT's officers, directors, legal representatives, successors, subsidiaries, and assigns; any judge or judicial officer presiding over the litigation and their immediate family and staff; and anyone who timely and validly opts out of the settlement.
If you are not sure whether you are included, you can check your status or request help through the official Settlement Website at UBTDataSettlement.com.
How Much Can You Get?
Settlement Class Members may file a claim for one or more of the following benefits:• Alternative cash payment — $100. In lieu of documenting losses, you can elect a flat $100 cash payment. This amount is subject to pro rata adjustment: it can be reduced if total valid claims exceed the net fund, or increased up to $1,000 if money remains.
• Ordinary losses — up to $2,500. Reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket costs traceable to the breach, including up to 4 hours of lost time at $25 per hour (up to $100 total), bank fees, postage, phone or data charges, and local travel.
• Extraordinary losses — up to $10,000. Reimbursement for documented, unreimbursed monetary losses more likely than not caused by the breach and not already covered by the ordinary-loss categories, incurred between May 31, 2023 and the close of the claims period.
• Credit monitoring. All class members may also claim two years of three-bureau credit monitoring and identity theft protection, including dark web monitoring, real-time credit monitoring with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, identity restoration services, and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.
If money remains in the net fund 180 days after the settlement's effective date, it will be used to extend the credit monitoring class members claimed. No part of the fund reverts to UBT.
How to File a Claim
You must complete and submit a Claim Form online or by mail so that it is received online or postmarked by July 21, 2026.Online: File at UBTDataSettlement.com using the Claimant ID and Password printed on the notice you received. If you believe you are a class member but do not have a Claimant ID and Password, you can request help through the official Settlement Website.
By mail: You can print a paper Claim Form from the Settlement Website and mail it to the Settlement Administrator at the address on the form.
Important: as of December 24, 2025, USPS postmark dating changed, and a Claim Form mailed close to the deadline may be postmarked when it reaches an automated processing facility rather than when USPS first receives it — which could make a claim late. If you mail your claim, allow extra time, or file online to avoid the issue.
For documented ordinary or extraordinary losses, your claim must be reasonably documented with materials such as credit card or bank statements, invoices, receipts, or telephone records. Personal statements alone are not treated as sufficient documentation but may add context. The $100 alternative cash payment does not require you to document losses.
