Millions of customers at a retail pharmacy giant are set to receive their share of multi-million dollar settlement following a major hack and data breach.
A total of 2.2 million Rite Aid customers will share a $6.8 million settlement after hackers from the RansomHub group stole a trove of personal information over the summer.
The hackers successfully impersonated a Rite Aid employee and accessed the company’s systems to extract information.
The breach exposed names, addresses, birth dates and IDs tied to purchases from June of 2017 to July of 2018.
A federal judge has now granted preliminary approval to the settlement, and customers can claim up to $10,000 for documented losses.
Rite Aid, which exited bankruptcy in September 2024, says it’s boosting its digital security and notifying affected individuals.
Although the site is not live at time of publishing, further details are expected to be published at RiteAidDataSettlement.com in the coming weeks.
