Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.
When login credentials are exposed, the costs of downstream account compromises — password managers, security audits, and recovery costs for hijacked downstream accounts — can be recovered. Courts in recent class actions have awarded damages for credential exposure even without proven misuse.
Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.
