$75 No-Proof or $4,500 Furniture Mart Data Breach Settlement

What happened

Class period: Data breach occurred in November 2024. Documented losses must have occurred from November 3, 2024 to present.

• In November 2024, Furniture Mart, USA, Inc. (FMUSA) was hit by a targeted cyberattack on its computer systems
• Files containing personal information were accessed, which may have included names, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth
• A class action lawsuit, In re: Furniture Mart, USA, Inc., Data Breach Litigation, Case No. 4:25-cv-04018-RAL, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota
• FMUSA denies any wrongdoing, and the Court has not decided who is right. Both sides agreed to settle to avoid the cost and risk of a trial
• The settlement covers people living in the United States whose personal information was potentially compromised in the breach. FMUSA's records identified class members, and many received a notice directly from the company
