Union Bank and Trust MOVEit Data Breach Settlement -- File a Claim by July 21, 2026
By eosguide team · Last updated May 9, 2026
Union Bank and Trust settled a 2023 MOVEit data breach lawsuit. Affected customers may claim up to $10,000 or take a $100 cash payment by July 21, 2026. The software was called MOVEit -- and move it did.
What happened
Class period: May 27, 2023 through May 31, 2023 (the MOVEit Security Incident dates)
- Between May 27 and May 31, 2023, cybercriminals exploited a vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer -- a third-party file transfer software used by Union Bank and Trust Company (UBT) -- and gained unauthorized access to the personally identifiable information (PII) of UBT clients.
- The breach was part of a widespread MOVEit attack affecting many organizations. Plaintiffs filed class action lawsuits alleging UBT was negligent in its data security practices.
- UBT denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of trial. Claims against Progress Software Corporation, the maker of MOVEit, are continuing separately and are not resolved by this settlement.
- Anyone in the United States whose PII was included in the files affected by the breach -- and who received a notice from UBT -- is a potential class member.

Extra details
- The $100 alternative cash payment may increase up to $1,000 if total valid claims do not exhaust the Net Settlement Fund -- so filing sooner rather than later is a reasonable idea.
- If you plan to mail your claim form, allow extra time: as of December 24, 2025, USPS changed its postmark dating system, and mail dropped close to the deadline may receive a postmark days after initial receipt. Online filing is the safer option.
- Claims against Progress Software Corporation, the company that made MOVEit, are continuing in separate litigation and are not affected by this settlement.
- The total settlement fund is $2,389,976. After attorneys' fees (up to one-third) and administration costs, the remaining amount is distributed to valid claimants.
- Watch for scams. The only official settlement website is www.UBTDataSettlement.com.
