Now is your last chance to claim your share of this data breach payout as an eligible class member. In today’s digitally connected world, companies that are responsible for storing and managing sensitive client data need to take more sophisticated safety precautions than ever before in order to ensure that cybercriminals do not gain unauthorized third-party access to this information. When these data breaches do occur, and it is believed that the company did not take the necessary measures to protect client data, they may be involved in serious litigation over it.
The responsibility to prevent a data breach
While the world continues to improve its digital technology services, cybercrime has also advanced right along with these improvements. While the digital age has made us more connected and has streamlined internal processes and other services, it has also meant that sensitive client information is at risk of being compromised in hacks and data breaches.
As such, it is the responsibility of these entities that use client data to ensure that they take all precautions necessary to ensure that this information is protected by robust and sophisticated cybersecurity measures. While not every data breach is preventable, it is imperative that as many interventions and measures as necessary are taken in order to prevent these data breaches from occurring as far as possible.
When a data breach does occur, it can result in a company being liable to compensate clients with large payouts in order to cover the damages associated with having their sensitive information leaked. This is because when information such as your financial and Social Security data gets compromised, clients are forced to pay for large expenses to prevent identity theft and financial fraud from occurring.
These clients can claim a payout for this data breach before the deadline
Recently, Octapharma Plasma agreed to settle a $2.55 million class action lawsuit with class members over allegations that the plasma donation center failed to take the necessary precautions needed to protect donor information. According to case no. 3:24-cv-00424-MOC-SCR, settlement terms and agreement, class members can claim the following payout from the company to resolve these allegations:
- Class members can claim up to $5,000 for documented losses.
- Class members who do not claim any losses can receive a flat payment fee of $100.
- California-based class members can receive an additional payment of $50.
- All class members are eligible for three years’ worth of credit monitoring services.
In order to receive their payout and compensation, class members must submit a valid claim before tomorrow, November 14, 2025. The final approval hearing for the class action lawsuit is set for December 4, 2025. Octapharm Plasma has not admitted to any wrongdoing.
Submit your valid claim to receive a payout
While the $5,000 payout for eligible claims may appear to come at the perfect time right before Christmas, it is important to remember that these compensation payouts are not intended to profit class members. As compensation, they are intended to cover the damages caused class members were forced to pay as a result of the company’s actions. Class action litigations tend to have a reputation for resulting in large sums for plaintiffs; however, class members rarely pocket additional cash from a hefty payout.
Arguably, the higher the compensation, the amount that class members can claim in these data breach litigations, the more affected their data was. While this is not always the case, lower compensation and settlement terms can mean that clients did not have to pay high expenses to cover damages, meaning that it is actually the ideal scenario for all parties involved in these litigations that the final settlement terms and agreements do not pertain to large monetary sums.
Disclaimer: You should not submit false or inflated claims under penalty of perjury, as class‑action claim forms historically required declarations signed “under penalty of perjury” to ensure authenticity. Submitting a fraudulent claim not only carries legal exposure—including potential civil and criminal sanctions—but also harms other eligible class members by diluting the available settlement pool.
