Filed last week – Cash App to directly pay $2,570 to more than 7 million people over data breaches

If you are a Cash App user and your account was active between August 2018 and August 2024, there is good news! You are entitled to up to $2,575 due to the data breach that affected millions of users. However, it is important that you act soon; Time is of the essence and you don’t want to miss this opportunity!

What happened to Cash App?

Cash App, a tool that many of us use to send and receive money easily and quickly, is part of Block (formerly known as Square).

In 2022, the company announced that there had been a data breach affecting around 8.2 million users. The reason for this issue was that a former employee continued to have access to all users’ sensitive data even after leaving the company.

Imagine that your important information (including name, email address and account details) could fall into the wrong hands. It’s a worrying situation, isn’t it? Cash App has taken this breach very seriously and has worked to improve the security of its platform. Of course, affected users must be compensated in some way.

What does that mean?

Cash App needed to fix this problem without losing the trust of its customers. That is why, as part of this solution, they have reached an agreement that allows those affected to claim financial compensation for the disclosure of their data.

So far we know that as one of the affected customers you can receive up to $2,575 if you file your claim within the set deadline. This money will help you forget about the inconvenience that this security breach may have caused in your life.

Who can claim this money?

In order to claim your portion of the severance payment, you must have an active Cash App account between the dates listed (August 23, 2018 and August 20, 2018). If you believe your data may have been compromised, it is very important that you do not sit back and claim what is yours. The application process is quite simple and designed so that everyone affected can take part.

How can I claim my money?

Don’t worry, claiming this money is easier than it seems. Just follow these steps:

  1. Visit the claims page: Go to the official website responsible for processing these claims. (Make sure it is the right website to avoid scam!!!)
  2. Submit your information: Provide the requested information, such as: B. Your account details and any documents that can help confirm your claim. If your accounts are affected, send proof.
  3. Submit your claim: Before you submit it, check everything to make sure all of your information is correct. Remember that meeting the deadlines is crucial to the validity of your claim (you must do this before 2am on November 19th).

Once you file your claim, you’ll need to be patient because you’ll have to wait until December 19 to find out if a judge approves the settlement agreement.

If for some reason the judge decides not to accept the payment, you would have to wait a little longer to receive your payment, but the good news is that it could be a larger amount. So keep hope!
