JUST two months remain for Americans to claim part of a massive $5 million settlement over a data breach from a popular moving and storage rental company.
The direct payment opportunity stems from a class action lawsuit filed against U-Haul, which has been accused of allowing an unauthorized third-party to gain access to private customer information.
The lawsuit claims two data breaches occurred in September 2022 and December 2023.
It claims the unauthorized third party gained access to U-Haul files that included personal state such as names and driver’s license numbers.
The rental company has denied any wrongdoing, but agreed to a $5,085,000 settlement.
Eligible U-Haul customers have a chance to score a payment of around $100 out of the payout.
To qualify for the direct payment, Americans must have resided in California between November 5, 2021 and April 5, 2022 or on around December 5, 2023 – when the data breaches occurred.
