If you worked for York Wallcoverings and got a notice about the April 2024 data breach, you may be eligible for cash payments, credit monitoring, or reimbursement for losses. A class action lawsuit alleges York failed to adequately safeguard employee data, leading to exposure of personal details such as Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and bank account information.
This settlement isn’t an admission of wrongdoing, but it does mean impacted individuals can claim benefits.
Why is there a lawsuit?
The lawsuit claims York Wallcoverings’ systems were compromised in April 2024, putting sensitive employee information at risk. York denies liability but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation.
