About This Settlement

A class action lawsuit alleged that the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures, resulting in a data breach on July 6, 2024, that allegedly compromised the sensitive personal information of its members. Plaintiffs claimed this alleged negligence exposed affected individuals to an increased risk of fraud and identity theft. PSEA has not admitted any wrongdoing but has agreed to pay $2.5 million to resolve these claims.
