While full settlement details are still being confirmed, this page will be updated as more information becomes available. In the meantime, if you received a data breach notification from KYB Americas, it's worth keeping that notice handy — it may be important when it comes time to file a claim.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You received a notification letter or email from KYB Americas informing you that your personal information was involved in the February 2025 data breach
- Your personal information — such as your name, Social Security number, financial account details, or other sensitive data — was stored in KYB Americas' systems and potentially exposed

How Much Can You Get?
The KYB Americas settlement offers two main types of benefits: cash payments and credit monitoring services. The exact maximum cash payout has not yet been publicly confirmed, so specific dollar amounts are still pending. Typically in data breach settlements like this one, class members can submit claims for out-of-pocket losses directly tied to the breach — such as bank fees, credit monitoring costs you paid yourself, or time spent dealing with the aftermath — as well as a base cash payment even without documented losses.
Credit monitoring services, if included as expected, can help you watch for signs of identity theft or fraud resulting from the breach. We'll update this page with specific payout amounts as soon as settlement details are finalized and approved by the court.
