If you were affected by the Keenan & Associates data security incident that occurred between August 21 and August 27, 2023, you may be eligible for compensation through the Keenan breach settlement. This class action settlement provides affected individuals with cash payments, credit monitoring, and insurance services.
What Happened?
In late August 2023, an unauthorized user gained access to personal information of certain Keenan & Associates customers. The incident, known as the Keenan data breach, prompted a class action lawsuit (Heath, et al., v. Keenan & Associates, Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. 24STCV03018). While Keenan denies wrongdoing, the parties agreed to settle the case before trial.
