ASM Global Parent $1.4M Data Breach Class Action Settlement

Consumers who received a notification from ASM Global Parent Inc. stating a data security incident detected on Oct. 12, 2023, compromised their personal information may be eligible to claim up to $10,000 plus a pro rata cash payment from a class action settlement.

ASM Global Parent Inc. agreed to pay $1.4 million to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging it failed to adequately protect sensitive personal and health information, which threat actors accessed during a cyberattack. The exposed information included names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state identification numbers, passport numbers, credit or debit card details, and, in some cases, medical diagnosis and treatment details.

Who is eligible to file a claim?

Class members include residents of the United States whose the private information the ASM data security incident detected on Oct. 12, 2023, compromised.

How much can class members get?

• Out-of-pocket expense reimbursement: Up to $10,000 for documented, unreimbursed monetary losses the data security incident most likely caused. Losses must have occurred between Oct. 10, 2023, and Jan. 2, 2026. Claimants must also show they made reasonable efforts to avoid or seek reimbursement for the loss, such as exhausting available credit monitoring or identity theft insurance.
• Pro rata cash payment: After the settlement administrator pays all valid out-of-pocket claims, administration costs, attorneys’ fees and service awards, it will distribute the remainder of the settlement fund on a pro rata basis to claimants who request this benefit. Each claimant receives one share of the remainder while California residents receive two shares.

What proof or documentation is necessary to file a claim?

• To file a claim, class members must provide the notice ID from the settlement notice they received. To file an online claim, class members must also provide the PIN from the same notice. Those who misplaced or lost their notice should contact the settlement administrator at 844-496-1268 and provide their full name and mailing address.

Acceptable documentation includes receipts or other records. Self-prepared documents alone (such as handwritten notes) are not sufficient, but class members may submit them to clarify other documentation.
