A landmark court decision has paved the way for a significant financial windfall for millions of individuals who were impacted by a major data breach at Capital One. A judge has approved a $425 million settlement, which will see current and former customers of the financial institution receive compensation for the unauthorized access to their sensitive information. The breach, which was first disclosed in 2019, exposed the data of over 100 million people, including Social Security numbers and bank account details. Those eligible for the payout can expect to receive a portion of the settlement, although the exact amount will depend on the specific terms of the agreement.
Millions of current and former Capital One customers are in store for major payouts after a judge gave a $425 million settlement the final green light this week.
