What happened
In or around October 2024, a targeted cyberattack hit the computer systems of Maxar Space LLC and Maxar Space Robotics LLC. The class action lawsuit alleges that files accessed during the incident may have contained personal information including names, Social Security numbers, home addresses, gender, employment information, and business contact information. The plaintiffs allege that Maxar failed to implement reasonable safeguards to protect this information.
Maxar denies any wrongdoing, and the Court has not decided who is right. To avoid the costs and uncertainty of continued litigation, the parties agreed to a settlement that offers credit monitoring, cash reimbursement for documented losses, payment for lost time, and an additional cash payment for California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

Available benefits and where the money is going
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the fairness hearing. The out-of-pocket cap of $3,500 includes lost time. CCPA payments are separate from the $3,500 cap.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
The most a single claimant can receive in cash is about $3,600 (up to $3,500 for documented out-of-pocket expenses, which includes up to $80 for lost time, plus a separate expected $100 CCPA payment if you are a California resident). The CCPA payment can be reduced pro rata if more than $15,000 in CCPA claims are filed. Most claimants who pick only the no-proof options will receive up to $80 in lost-time compensation plus free credit monitoring. Nothing is guaranteed, and amounts may be adjusted based on claims volume and final court approval.
Do I need proof?
Only if you are claiming out-of-pocket expenses. You can claim up to $80 in lost time (4 hours at $20/hour), three years of credit monitoring with $1 million in identity theft insurance, and the California CCPA payment (if you are a CA resident) without submitting any receipts or supporting documents. For out-of-pocket expenses up to $3,500, you need receipts, statements, or similar documentation showing expenses incurred because of the Data Incident after October 11, 2024.
What if I didn’t receive a notice?
You may still qualify. The Class includes all living U.S. residents whose personally identifiable information was potentially compromised in the October 2024 Maxar Data Incident, including everyone who received a breach notice letter. If you believe you are a Class Member but did not receive a notice, contact the Settlement Administrator at info@MaxarSettlement.com or 1-833-386-6496 for help confirming your status.
Does staying in the Class affect my right to sue later?
Yes. If you remain in the Settlement Class, you give up the right to sue Maxar separately for any claims covered by the release section of the Settlement Agreement. If you want to preserve your right to sue Maxar on your own about the Data Incident, you must formally opt out (exclude yourself) by June 16, 2026. If you opt out, you will not receive any settlement benefits.
When will payments be sent out?
The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for September 24, 2026. If the Court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved, settlement benefits and payments will be distributed after that. The settlement website does not give an exact payout date, and appeals (if filed) can delay distribution. Check the official settlement website for updates.
