What is this Lawsuit about?

A Settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit against Community Connections, Inc. ("Defendant") relating to the incident discovered on October 21, 2024 (the "2024 Data Incident"). Defendant determined that certain files may have been accessed without authorization and, on or around August 22, 2025, sent out notices to potentially impacted individuals. On April 4, 2026, Defendant experienced a second data security incident by a different threat actor (the "2026 Data Incident," collectively, with the 2024 Data Incident, the "Data Incidents"). The Action alleges that Defendant was negligent or otherwise responsible for failing to prevent the Data Incidents from occurring. Defendant denies all allegations. The Parties have reached a Settlement to resolve the claims brought in the Action and to provide relief to Settlement Class Members.
The 3 cash payment options include:
  • Cash Payment A – Documented Losses
  • Cash Payment B – Lost Time
  • Cash Payment C – Alternative Cash Payment (alternative to Cash Payments A & B)
