Individuals who received a notice stating a data breach involving Maxar Space may have exposed their personal information could be eligible to claim up to $3,500 plus three years of credit monitoring and a California residency payment from a class action settlement.
Maxar Space LLC and Maxar Space Robotics LLC agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging they failed to adequately protect personal information during a cyberattack in October 2024. The lawsuit claims unauthorized parties accessed files containing sensitive data, including names, Social Security numbers, addresses, gender, employment and business contact information.
Who can file a claim?
The class includes all living persons residing in the United States whose personally identifiable information the Maxar data incident potentially compromised. This includes anyone who received a data breach notice letter.
How much can class members get?
Class members are eligible to claim several types of benefits:
- Reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses: Up to $3,500 for documented expenses that occurred after Oct. 11, 2024 and are directly related to the data breach. Examples include:
- Bank, credit card or debit card fees
- Postage
