The Neiman Marcus Group LLC

Consumers whose personal information was potentially compromised in the May 2024 data breach involving The Neiman Marcus Group LLC, may be eligible to claim up to $2,500 or receive two years of free credit monitoring from a class action settlement.

The Neiman Marcus Group agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging an unauthorized third party accessed files containing sensitive information of customers and employees.

The exposed data may have included names, email addresses, dates of birth, gift card information, partial credit card numbers and the last four digits of Social Security numbers.

Who can file a Neiman Marcus claim?

To be eligible for benefits from this settlement, class members must meet the following criteria:

They lived in the United States at the time of the data incident.
Their personal information was potentially compromised as a result of the May 2024 Neiman Marcus data breach.

Class members may have received a notice regarding the data incident. However, those who did not receive a notice can still be eligible if their information was affected.

How much is the data breach payout?

Settlement class members may be eligible for two types of benefits:

Up to $2,500 in cash reimbursement for documented losses related to the data incident

The class action lawsuit alleged The Neiman Marcus Group LLC detected a data breach in May 2024 in which unauthorized parties may have accessed files containing sensitive personal information of customers and employees.

The plaintiffs claimed Neiman Marcus failed to adequately safeguard this information, leading to claims of negligence, breach of contract and related causes of action. The company denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the risks, costs and time associated with continued litigation.
