If you received a notice that your personal information may have been compromised in a Nissan North America data breach from November 7, 2023, you may be eligible for benefits from a $1.5 million class action settlement. This guide will help you understand what the lawsuit is about, who qualifies, what you can get, and how to file your claim—quickly and clearly.
Why This Lawsuit Exists?
In November 2023, Nissan North America announced a data breach affecting over 50,000 employees due to a phishing attack. Plaintiffs in a class action argued that Nissan could have prevented the breach by implementing reasonable cybersecurity measures.
The lawsuit claims that Nissan’s failure to protect sensitive information violated consumer privacy rights.
While Nissan has not admitted wrongdoing, it agreed to a $1.5 million settlement to resolve these claims. This settlement provides compensation and credit monitoring to affected individuals.
Who Qualifies?
You are eligible if you:
Received a data breach notice from Nissan North America about the November 2023 incident.
Are part of the Settlement Class, which includes all individuals notified that their information may have been compromised.
How Much You Can Get?
Your settlement benefits depend on whether you experienced documented losses:
Ordinary losses: Up to $450 for bank fees, postage, travel, or notary costs.
Extraordinary losses: Up to $4,500 for identity theft, fraudulent charges, or other losses with supporting documentation (police reports, insurance claims, receipts, etc.).
No documented losses: Alternative cash payment up to $100 (may be reduced depending on total claims).
All class members—even if you didn’t experience losses—receive:
Two years of free credit monitoring, including one-bureau monitoring and identity theft insurance up to $1 million.
If you have already enrolled in Nissan’s credit monitoring, you get an additional two years.
