Lands’ End Inc. agreed to settle a class action lawsuit claiming a data security incident in December 2024 allowed unauthorized parties to access files containing sensitive personal information, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or passport details, and, in some cases, medical information.
