Nissan North America Data Breach Settlement 2026 – File by May 26, 2026
Nissan North America suffered a cyberattack in November 2023 that exposed employee Social Security numbers, medical records, pay info, and more — because apparently their data security didn't come with the same warranty as their cars. If you received a breach notice, you may be eligible for up to $4,950 in cash plus two years of free credit monitoring.
What happened
Class period: On or about November 7, 2023 (the date of the Data Incident)
In November 2023, cybercriminals gained unauthorized access to Nissan North America's computer network and helped themselves to a buffet of employee private information — names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, pay records, and medical data. Nissan denies wrongdoing, but a $1.5 million settlement fund has been established to compensate affected employees. If your information was caught up in this breach, the settlement is your chance to get something back (other than anxiety about your SSN floating around the internet).
What you can get
Alternative Cash Payment (no docs needed)
Up to $100
Pro rata — actual amount depends on total valid claims filed Ordinary Documented Losses

Extra details
If you already enrolled in Nissan's free credit monitoring offer after the breach, good news — you can extend it for two additional years under this settlement rather than starting fresh. If you did NOT enroll in the original monitoring offer, you can still sign up for two years of coverage through the settlement. Watch out for scams — the only authorized settlement website is nnadatasettlement.com. If someone emails you a "claim link," that's not Nissan trying to make it right; that's someone trying to make it worse. Opting out preserves your right to sue independently, but you'll walk away with zero settlement benefits.
