Background
The case stems from a data security incident between August 17-19, 2024, when an unauthorized third party accessed Fidelity's computer network and potentially obtained personal information including names, Social Security numbers, financial account information, and driver's license numbers.

The settlement offers a pro rata cash payment estimated at roughly $100 without any proof required, plus up to $5,000 in documented out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach, an additional $50 for California residents under the CCPA, and two years of credit monitoring with identity theft insurance. A final approval hearing was scheduled for July 9, 2026 before Judge Leo T. Sorokin in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
