If your Private Information was compromised in the October 2024 McLean Mortgage Corporation Data Breach, a proposed class action Settlement may affect your rights, and entitle you to benefits and a cash payment.
A settlement has been reached with McLean Mortgage Corporation (“McLean” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about the targeted cyberattack on McLean's computer systems that occurred in October 2024 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained private information were potentially accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names; Social Security numbers; driver’s license numbers; financial account numbers; passport numbers; health insurance information; and other personally identifiable information that Defendant may have collected and maintained.
The lawsuit is called In re McLean Data Breach Litigation, Case No. 3:25-cv-00461. It is pending in the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Litigation”). McLean denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
