Who was covered
Class Members include everyone who received a mailed or emailed notice about the 2017 Best Buy data incident. Class Members were affected by a 2017 cyberattack and either lost money, needed to replace financial cards, felt the need to pay for credit monitoring services, or spent time dealing with the results of the attack.
Where to claim
The administrator’s site is 247ClassSettlement.com. The window is closed, so it is there for the record, not to file.

Being in the breach is not the same as being in the class. Class membership usually turns on having received the company’s own notice letter, and only the settlement administrator can confirm it. We are not lawyers, we take no fee from any claim, and we never file on anyone’s behalf.
