MGM Resort’s international customers who believe that their personal information was exposed in two data violations that occurred in July 2019 and September 2023 until June 3 have to submit a claim form through a lawsuit.
In January, American district judge Gloria Navarro preliminarily approved a settlement of $ 45 million in a mood that was raised against MGM by guest Tonya Owens.
Most victims can receive compensation through a triple system based on the amount of personal data that was exposed.
People who are looking for payments of $ 75, $ 50 and $ 20 can submit a claim through the company’s settlement website, MGMDATASETTEMENT.com.
Court documents say MGM has a database with approximately 37 million customers.
According to the settlement, under conditions for what is called a global settlement, class members whose social security number or military identification number was subjected to a cash payment of $ 75 while those whose passport number or driver’s license was subjected to $ 50. The lowest level, $ 20, would be paid to class members whose name, address and birth.
In addition, all residence class members may receive identity theft protection and credit monitoring.
Class members who believe they had greater losses can submit a claim if they have documentation that supports financial losses of up to $ 15,000.
People whose tasks were exposed can also archive to opt out or object to the settlement. A deadline on May 19 has been established for these alternatives.
Once all claims have been submitted, the court will go against a final solution with a hearing scheduled June 18 at 9, in Las Vegas.
Douglas McNamara, co-leading interim class adviser and a partner at Cohen Milstein, is a temporary co-leading class adviser in a similar class action against Caesars Entertainment Inc.
“The hotel and entertainment industry are particularly desirable goals for hackers,” McNamara said when the preliminary settlement was announced. “The same hacker also attacked Caesars Entertainment Inc. 2023.”
MGM representatives have not commented on the settlement.
