Ethos Technologies Data Breach Settlement: $1M

If you received a notification letter from Ethos Technologies informing you that your information may have been compromised in a data breach between August and December 2022, you are considered a class member and eligible to participate in the settlement.

The documents you need to submit will depend on the type of claim you file:

• Flat Payment: No proof of purchase is required for the flat payment of $100 (or $200 for California residents).
  
  
• Out-of-Pocket Expenses (up to $5,000): For claims seeking reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to the data breach, you will need receipts or other documentation that is not self-prepared. This could include bank statements, credit card statements, police reports, or communications with financial institutions.

Ethos Technologies, an online life insurance company, has agreed to a $1 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging they failed to prevent a data breach in 2022. The lawsuit claims the company did not implement sufficient cybersecurity measures, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive consumer information. While Ethos Technologies denies any wrongdoing, they have agreed to this settlement to resolve the claims.

The data breach reportedly occurred between August and December 2022, potentially compromising personal information of Ethos customers.

The settlement benefits include:

• Flat Payment: All class members can receive a flat payment of $100.
  
  
• California Subclass Bonus: If you reside in California, you are eligible for an additional $100 payment (on top of the base $100).
  
  
• Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Class members can claim up to $5,000 for documented and unreimbursed expenses related to the data breach.
  
  
• Free Credit Monitoring: All class members are entitled to 12 months of free credit monitoring and identity protection services.
