Cash App was ordered to pay $15 million to app users facing a security breach leading to the disclosure of the personal data of millions of users.

Users can receive up to $2,500 for unauthorized or fraudulent activity on their Cash App accounts between August 23, 2018 and August 20, 2024. Users who have already been reimbursed by Block, Cash App Investing or a third party are not eligible.

The breach occurred when a former Cash App employee downloaded users’ personal information without their knowledge.

The December 2021 data breach resulted in “the unauthorized public disclosure of the personally identifiable information of 8.2 million current and former Cash App Investing customers,” according to the lawsuit.

The plaintiffs sued Cash App Investing and Block, claiming the companies failed to “exercise reasonable care in securing and protecting consumer information.”

Users can submit a claim for personal losses, lost time and transaction losses.
