The Cannon class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on August 8, 2025, and covers over 13,000 individuals whose personal information may have been compromised during the early 2023 data breach, including those who were notified about the incident by CannonDesign.

The court-approved website for the Cannon class action settlement can be found at https://www.CannonSettlement.com/.

Cannon settlement class members who submit a valid, timely claim form have multiple options for reimbursement. All eligible class members can receive a one-time, pro-rated cash payment of approximately $40, depending on the total number of valid claims submitted. Further, class members who submit a valid claim can also receive two years of free, three-bureau credit monitoring services from CyEx.

Additionally, those who submit proof of documented out-of-pocket expenses related to the data breach, including losses related to identity theft, professional fees, and costs associated with credit repair services, may receive an additional one-time cash payment of up to $10,000, the settlement website shares.

The settlement documents add that Cannon settlement class members can elect to receive any/all payments via check or electronic payment. Those who submit a valid claim will have 90 days to cash their reimbursement funds after the dates of issuance before they expire, court documents state.

To submit a Cannon settlement claim form online, class members can head to this page and enter the class member ID found on their copy of the settlement notice.

Alternatively, a class member can download a PDF copy of the claim form to print, fill out, and return by mail to the address listed near the bottom of the form.

Cannon settlement claim forms must be submitted online or by mail by November 25, 2025.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the Cannon settlement at a hearing on December 15, 2025. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.

The CannonDesign class action lawsuit alleged that the New York architecture firm failed to protect the private information of over 13,000 active and former Cannon employees during a targeted cyberattack in January 2023. Per the suit, the data accessed during the breach included, but was not limited to names, dates of birth, contact information, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, state identification numbers, and passport numbers of Cannon employees and their dependents.
