Cash App users affected by a 2021 data breach could receive up to $2,500 as part of a $15 million settlement agreed upon in March 2024.

To be eligible, users had to file a claim by November 18, 2024, detailing any out-of-pocket losses from authorized or fraudulent transactions between August 23, 2018, and August 20, 2024. The settlement also compensates for time spent dealing with the breach up to three hours at $25 per hour.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
