Plaintiffs Seek Approval for $4.3 Million Settlement With
Sonic in Credit Card Data Breach Suit
" Following a variety of
lawsuits against fast food chain Sonic Drive-In related to a 2017
credit card data breach, plaintiffs are seeking consolidation of those suits, class
certification and a $4.3 million settlement.
" The settlement would create a
nationwide class of Sonic diners affected by the breach, each of
whom would receive $10 if they used their credit or debit cards at
the store, or $40 if they experienced fraudulent or unauthorized
charges.
" The plaintiffs argued that the
settlement is fair when balanced with the risks of further
litigation.
