Dapeer Law, P.A. is investigating a potential class action against Primary Jane, LLC, a Wilmington, North Carolina online hemp and CBD retailer, on behalf of customers whose credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates, CVV security codes, cardholder names, and billing ZIP codes may have been captured by malicious card-skimming code placed on the company's checkout pages in July 2026.

What happened
On July 21, 2026, Primary Jane, LLC detected unusual activity on its website after its malware protection software flagged an anomaly, according to the security breach notice the company filed with the Massachusetts Attorney General under the Commonwealth's breach statute (MGL c. 93H). The company engaged its external IT support team to conduct a forensic review. That review determined that an unauthorized actor had inserted malicious code into the website that was designed to skim digital credit card data as customer transactions were processed. The company reports the code was active from July 13, 2026 through July 21, 2026.
Primary Jane began mailing notice letters to affected customers on August 20, 2026 and filed the incident with the Massachusetts Attorney General on August 28, 2026, reporting one affected Massachusetts resident. According to the notice, the information that could have been captured at checkout includes credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates, CVV security codes, the cardholder name, and the billing ZIP code. The filing does not identify a complimentary credit monitoring or identity protection offer, and instead directs recipients to contact the three national credit bureaus and review their own financial statements. Whether Primary Jane maintained reasonable security measures on its e-commerce platform before the code was inserted is a central question of our investigation.
Card-skimming attacks of this kind capture payment data in transit, before it is encrypted and transmitted to the payment processor, which means the security of the card issuer's own systems offers no protection. Because the code captured card numbers together with expiration dates, CVV codes, cardholder names, and billing ZIP codes, an unauthorized party would hold every element needed to complete card-not-present transactions online. Customers who used a card on the site during the affected window should treat the card as compromised, request a replacement, and review statements closely even if no fraudulent charge has appeared yet.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard your Primary Jane notice letter. The letter documents that your payment card information was involved in the incident and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Cancel the affected card and request a replacement
Contact your bank or card issuer, report that the card was used on a website affected by a skimming incident, and ask for a replacement card with a new number. Because the CVV code and billing ZIP code were also involved, simply monitoring the existing card is not enough. Taking these steps does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide. Because full card numbers, CVV codes, and billing ZIP codes were involved, also review every statement covering purchases made on or after July 13, 2026, dispute any charge you do not recognize in writing, and consider placing a fraud alert or a free security freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

Common questions
I received a data breach letter from Primary Jane. What should I do? +
Keep your Primary Jane notice letter, review any purchase you made on primaryjane.com between July 13 and July 21, 2026, contact your bank or card issuer to cancel the card you used and request a replacement, dispute any charge you do not recognize in writing, request your free annual credit reports, consider placing a fraud alert or free security freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, document any time or money you spend responding to the incident, and consider speaking with a data breach attorney. If you experience identity theft, you also have the right to file a police report and keep a copy for your records.
Am I eligible to join a class action against Primary Jane? +
Customers who received a Primary Jane notice letter, and customers who used a payment card on primaryjane.com between July 13 and July 21, 2026, are the most direct candidates. Eligibility for any legal claim will also depend on your state of residence, the categories of your information that were involved, and any documented losses or out-of-pocket expenses such as unauthorized charges or replacement card fees. A free case review can help you understand your options.
How much money could I receive from a class action lawsuit? +
Data breach class action recoveries vary significantly. Settlements typically range from a few hundred dollars for basic out-of-pocket losses to several thousand dollars for documented identity theft, with class size, damages, and negotiation all affecting the final amount. No payout is guaranteed, and this investigation has not yet resulted in a settlement.
What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
According to the notice, the malicious code could have captured credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates, CVV security codes, the cardholder name, and the billing ZIP code associated with the card as transactions were processed at checkout. Your individual letter is the most reliable source for exactly what was involved in your case, so we recommend reviewing it carefully and saving a copy.
Did Primary Jane offer free credit monitoring? +
The notice does not identify a complimentary credit monitoring or identity protection offer. Primary Jane instead directs affected customers to contact the three national credit bureaus, review their financial statements, and remain vigilant for unauthorized activity. If your letter does include an enrollment code, use it before the stated deadline, since accepting a monitoring benefit does not waive your right to pursue legal action. This page will be updated if an offer is confirmed.
How many people were affected by the Primary Jane breach? +
The notice filed with the Massachusetts Attorney General reports one affected Massachusetts resident. That figure covers Massachusetts only, and the total number of customers who used a payment card on the website during the July 13 to July 21, 2026 window has not been publicly disclosed. Filings in other states, if any, could raise the total, and this page will be updated if additional information becomes available.
Is there a deadline to take legal action? +
Yes. Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state and legal theory, typically ranging from one to six years. Waiting can permanently bar your claim. Contact us as soon as possible for a free evaluation.
How do I get a copy of the official breach notice? +
