A settlement has been reached with CR&R Incorporated (“CR&R” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about the targeted cyberattack on CR&R's computer systems that occurred on or about December 13, 2022 (“Data Incident”). Certain files that contained private information were accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names, Social Security numbers, financial account information, and health insurance information.
The lawsuit is called Machado v. CR&R Incorporated, Case No. 30-2025-01450762-CU-NP-CXC. It is pending in the Superior Court of Orange County, California (“Action”). CR&R denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (“Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Action.
