La Jolla Group
La Jolla Group Data Breach Settlement
Current and former La Jolla Group employees in the United States whose information was affected by the November 2023 cybersecurity incident can claim a $45 cash payment, or $95 for California Subclass members. Claims are due November 23, 2026. The cash payment is for claimants who do not seek out-of-pocket loss reimbursement.
Key facts
The lawsuit alleges that La Jolla Group failed to properly secure the personal information of current and former employees, which was allegedly posted on the dark web after a cybersecurity incident in or around November 2023. La Jolla Group expressly denies the allegations, and the court has not decided who is right.
Who may qualify?
The class covers current and former La Jolla Group employees who reside in the United States and whose information was impacted by the November 2023 cybersecurity incident. Anyone in the class who was a California resident at the time of the incident belongs to the California Subclass. La Jolla Group and its officers and directors, the judges assigned to the case and their staff and family, anyone found guilty of or pleading no contest to a charge of involvement in the incident, and anyone who opts out are excluded.
What could you receive?
Eligible claimants who do not submit a claim for out-of-pocket losses can receive a $95 cash payment if they are in the California Subclass, or $45 otherwise. Claimants can instead seek reimbursement of out-of-pocket losses up to $2,000, including up to four hours of lost time at $25 per hour. All out-of-pocket claims together are capped at $50,000 and may be reduced if that cap is reached. Two years of credit monitoring can be chosen in addition to either option.
What information is needed?
The claim form asks for the Class Member ID and PIN from the postcard or email notice. The notice describes documentation requirements only for out-of-pocket losses, which need third-party records.
What dates matter?
Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by November 23, 2026. The exclusion deadline is also November 23, 2026, and written objections must be received by then. A final approval hearing is scheduled for December 17, 2026. A scheduled hearing does not mean the settlement has final approval, and no payment date has been announced.
Who may qualify
Current and former La Jolla Group employees who live in the United States and whose information was affected by the cybersecurity incident may qualify. Class members who were California residents at the time of the incident are in the California Subclass.
What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. The claim form asks for the Class Member ID and PIN from the notice. The cash payment is for claimants who do not seek out-of-pocket reimbursement, which needs third-party records.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Analytics Consulting LLC is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
Claim helps you check whether you may qualify, understand the official requirements, and keep track of settlement deadlines.
