Last updated: July 13, 2026
Nissan North America agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle a class action alleging it failed to protect the personal information of current and former employees in a data breach discovered in late 2023. The claim deadline has passed — it closed on May 26, 2026 — so new claims are no longer accepted. The court granted final approval on June 12, 2026, and class members who filed could receive up to $450 for ordinary losses or up to $4,500 for extraordinary losses, plus two years of free credit monitoring.
The settlement, Taylor et al. v. Nissan North America, Inc., stems from a targeted attack on Nissan's external VPN on or about November 7, 2023, that exposed the names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, pay information, and medical records of more than 53,000 people. Class members are those who received a notice from Nissan stating their information may have been compromised. In addition to reimbursement for documented losses, class members could claim an alternative cash payment of up to $100, plus two years of credit monitoring and up to $1 million in identity-theft insurance provided through the administrator, Kroll.
