If you’re a Cash App user who might’ve been affected by recent data breaches or unauthorized access incidents, there’s a major class action settlement you need to know about. A $15.6 million settlement has been reached following lawsuits that allege Cash App and its parent company, Block, Inc., failed to implement adequate security protocols, which ultimately compromised user data. Here’s a clear breakdown of what’s happening, how to claim your compensation, and the deadlines you shouldn’t miss.
What Is the Cash App Class Action Lawsuit About?
The class action lawsuit stems from a significant data breach reported in 2022, where a former Cash App employee allegedly accessed and downloaded the personal information of over 8 million users without permission.
The complaint also highlights a second incident in 2025, where unauthorized individuals accessed Cash App accounts using recycled phone numbers linked to old accounts. Plaintiffs allege that Cash App failed to properly handle these complaints or take sufficient security measures to protect user data.
The lawsuit was originally filed in California in December 2021 and accuses Cash App and Block, Inc. of negligence, breach of duty, and failure to protect user privacy.
