Why did this class action settlement happen?

The class action lawsuit alleged FPI Management Inc. failed to protect the personal information of residents and former residents during a cyberattack in August 2020. The plaintiffs claimed this failure increased the risk of identity theft and violated several California laws, including the Consumer Privacy Act and Customer Records Act.

FPI Management denied the allegations but agreed to settle the class action to avoid the risks and expense of continued litigation.
