If you reside in the United States and your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) was impacted in the targeted cyberattack on New York School of Interior Design's (“NYSID”) computer systems that occurred in November 2023 (the “Data Incident”), including all those who received notice of the Data Incident, you may be a Class Member and eligible for Settlement Benefits. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (1) NYSID and its officers, directors, and related companies; (2) anyone who validly excludes themselves from the Settlement; (3) the Judge in this case, and the Judge’s family and staff; and (4) anyone who perpetrated the Data Incident.
If you are a Class Member and wish to receive Settlement Benefits then you must submit a claim form by January 12, 2027.
Settlement benefits are available only to Settlement Class Members who do not exclude themselves from the Settlement and who submit valid and timely claims. All Settlement Class Members may enroll in Credit Monitoring Services and may either (a) submit claims for Extraordinary Losses, Ordinary Losses, and/or Lost Time, or (b) elect an Alternative Cash Payment, but not both. Settlement Class Members who elect the Alternative Cash Payment cannot also receive reimbursement for Extraordinary Losses, Ordinary Losses, or Lost Time, but may still claim Credit Monitoring Services.
Credit Monitoring. All Class Members are eligible to enroll in three (3) years of three-bureau credit monitoring services. This comprehensive service comes with $1 million of financial fraud insurance, and includes monitoring for:
If anything suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
Lost Time. Class Members who spent time responding to the Data Incident may claim up to four (4) hours, at $25.00 per hour, for a maximum of $100.00 (combined with Ordinary Losses, the combined total is capped at $500.00). You must have spent the time on tasks related to the Data Incident. Some examples include things like:
Claims for Ordinary Losses. Class Members who incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket expenses due to the Data Incident, can get back up to $500.00. The losses must have occurred between November 2, 2023, and January 12, 2027, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your IDs
postage to contact banks by mail
Claims for Extraordinary Losses. Class Members who lost money because of identity theft or fraud can get back up to $5,000.00. The losses must have occurred between November 2, 2023, and January 12, 2027, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. You will need to show that:
the theft or fraud was more likely than not caused by the Data Incident
the losses are not already covered by Ordinary Losses
you tried to prevent the loss or get your money back, such as by using insurance you already have
If you are claiming for Ordinary and/or Extraordinary Losses, you need to submit proof, like receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. You can also provide notes or papers you made yourself to explain or support other proof, but those notes or papers alone are not enough to make a valid claim. Your proof or notes should show that your expenses were because of the Data Incident.
Alternative Cash Payment. Instead of any other cash payment option, Class Members may claim a one-time cash payment of $50.00.
