Welcome to the In re Waste Management Data Breach Litigation Class Action Website.
Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Read this website and the Notice carefully.
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit concerning a data breach at USA Waste-Management Resources, LLC, (“WM” or “Defendant”). The data breach occurred in January 2021 when an unauthorized third party gained access to certain WM systems (the “Data Security Incident”). Plaintiffs in the lawsuit allege that the Data Security Incident potentially exposed certain individuals’ names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers. The Settlement would resolve the lawsuit without an admission of liability by WM. The lawsuit is called In re Waste Management Data Breach Litigation, Case No. 1:21-cv-06199-DLC (S.D.N.Y.). The Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by the Defendant.
The Settlement Class includes all individuals to whom Defendant sent notice of the January 2021 Data Security Incident. If you are a Settlement Class Member, your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you act.
You are part of the Settlement as a Settlement Class Member if you received notice of the Data Security Incident from WM. Settlement Class Members were also sent notice of this Settlement via U.S. Mail.
