In March 2024, a significant data breach reportedly occurred at Tyler Technologies, a prominent software company providing services to public entities such as schools, courts, and law enforcement. The company failed to prevent this breach, which led to a considerable compromise of sensitive consumer information. As a result, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Tyler Technologies, accusing them of failing to implement adequate cybersecurity measures. While the company has not admitted any wrongdoing, they have agreed to settle the lawsuit by compensating the affected consumers for their losses. The implications of this lawsuit and settlement are substantial. Under the terms of this settlement, those who can prove their losses due to the data breach between March 23, 2024, and May 29, 2025, could receive up to $3,500 for fraudulent charges, identity theft, data breach-related expenses, and lost time. They can also claim compensation for lost time, identity theft protection services, and credit monitoring for three years. These provisions underscore the increasing accountability of companies in protecting consumer data and the significant financial repercussions when they fail to do so.
