VICTIMS of a cybersecurity breach have hours left to file a claim.
A class action lawsuit was filed against Pro Wrestling Tees over claims it failed to prevent the 2021 breach and protect customers.
Creative Ventures, the parent company of Pro Wrestling Tees, notified individuals that their personal information might have been compromised.
The company has not admitted any wrongdoing but did agree to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the issue.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive as much as $3,500 for any losses incurred due to the breach.
This includes bank fees, communication charges, travel expenses, credit costs, monetary losses due to fraud or identity theft, and up to four hours of lost time at a rate of $15 per hour.
