A Settlement has been reached with the RBA, Inc. (“RBA” or “Defendant”) in a class action lawsuit. This class action lawsuit concerned the targeted cyberattack on RBA's computer systems that occurred on or around May 25, 2024 (the “Data Security Incident”). Certain files that contained private information were accessed. These files may have contained personal employee information such as name, address, Social Security number, date of birth, and limited benefits information.
The lawsuit is captioned Coen-Pesch v. RBA, Inc., Case No. 27-CV-24-17505, pending in the Minnesota District Court for the Fourth Judicial District, Minneapolis (the “Action”). RBA denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the litigation.
If you received a notice from the Settlement Administrator, then RBA's records indicate that you are a Class Member, and thus entitled to benefits under the Settlement. You may also have received previous notice directly from RBA.
