A settlement has been reached with Lowe Engineers, LLC (“Lowe” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about the targeted cyberattack on Lowe's computer systems that occurred in December 2024 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained private information were accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as first, middle, and last names; addresses; phone numbers; dates of birth; Social Security numbers; driver’s license numbers; passport numbers; government identification numbers; account numbers; routing numbers; payment card numbers; payment card expiration dates; medical information; and health insurance information.
The lawsuit is called Galdun v. Lowe Engineers, LLC, Case No. 26CV003778. It is pending in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia (the “Litigation”). Lowe denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
