Bassett Furniture Data Breach Class Action Settlement

• Consumers who received a mailed notification from Bassett Furniture stating their personal information may have been compromised.
• The data breach allegedly impacted consumers between July 2021 and September 2023.

To claim reimbursement, class members must provide documentation of expenses related to the breach, such as:

• Bank and credit card statements showing fraudulent transactions
• Receipts for professional fees related to identity theft recovery
• Invoices for credit monitoring or fraud prevention services
• Proof of lost time (up to 10 hours at $30 per hour)

Bassett Furniture has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit over claims that an unauthorized third party gained access to sensitive consumer data through its former e-commerce website.

According to the lawsuit, the data breach compromised:

• Names
• Addresses
• Financial account information
• Other sensitive personal data

Plaintiffs argue that Bassett Furniture failed to implement adequate cybersecurity measures, allowing cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities and access private customer information. They claim the company could have prevented the breach by enforcing better security protocols and monitoring its systems more effectively.

Bassett Furniture denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to the settlement to resolve these allegations and compensate affected consumers.
