Circle K Breach Settlement Moves Forward
Coverage from Top Class Actions, ClassAction.org, and others
Gas Express LLC, which operates Circle K locations, has reached a proposed class action settlement over a May 2024 cyberattack that allegedly exposed personal information, including names and Social Security numbers and possibly driver’s license numbers.
Eligible U.S. residents who received breach notices may claim either reimbursement for documented losses or a flat payment, along with two years of credit monitoring and identity theft protection. The settlement has preliminary approval, but payments remain contingent on final court approval and resolution of any appeals.
The update mostly clarifies the settlement mechanics and timing: the case is now tied explicitly to a proposed settlement with defined claim and objection deadlines, a named monitoring product, and a scheduled final hearing. It also slightly narrows the alleged exposure by framing driver’s license numbers as referenced in a regulatory filing rather than the core allegation.
