A settlement has been proposed in a class action against FPI Management, Inc. (“FPI”) arising out of an August 2020 cyberattack during which unauthorized third parties gained access to certain files containing the personal information of current and former residents of properties that FPI managed ("Data Security Incident"). The computer files accessed in the Data Security Incident contained for some persons names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security number, driver’s license numbers or other government identification card numbers, passport numbers, tax identification numbers, financial account information, online credentials, digital signatures, and/or payment card information as well as medical information.
Plaintiff Richard Archibeque filed a class action on behalf of himself and those similarly situated and claims that FPI was responsible for the increased risk of identity theft stemming from the Data Security Incident and asserts claims for: (i) negligence; (ii) breach of written contract; (iii) breach of implied contract; (iv) invasion of privacy; (v) breach of confidence; (vi) violation of the California Unfair Competition Law; (vii) violation of California’s Consumer Privacy Act; and (viii) violation of the California Customer Records Act.
If you received a notice from FPI concerning the 2020 Data Security Incident you are part of the Class and may be eligible for benefits.
The settlement provides reimbursement of up to $100.00 for individuals who received notice of the Data Security Incident that was mailed to a California address; up to $400.00 for documented out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred between August 14, 2020 and the Claims Deadline fairly traceable to the Data Security Incident; up to $4,250.00 for a Class Member who was a victim of actual documented identity theft, reimbursement for documented and unreimbursed extraordinary monetary losses that were incurred between August 14, 2020 and the Claims Deadline; compensation for up to three (3) hours at $20 per hour for time spent dealing with the Data Security Incident; and two (2) years of credit monitoring and identity theft protection.
