Consumers whose information was exposed in the December 2024 Lands' End data incident may be eligible for up to $5,000 plus credit monitoring under a proposed class action settlement.
What happened
In December 2024, a data security incident affected a portion of Lands' End's computer systems. Certain files that may have been accessed contained personal information including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license and/or passport information, and — in limited circumstances — medical information.
The case is Jones, et al. v. Lands' End, Inc., Case No. 30301, pending in the Circuit Court for Iowa County, Wisconsin. Lands' End denies wrongdoing, and the court has not decided who is right; the parties agreed to settle to avoid the costs and risks of continued litigation.
Who qualifies
Settlement Class Members are individuals identified in Lands' End's records whose information was compromised in the December 2024 data incident. Those who received a notice directly from Lands' End likely qualify.
What class members can receive
- Documented losses — up to $5,000 for actual, documented out-of-pocket losses related to the incident (proof such as bank statements or receipts is required; self-prepared notes alone are not enough).
- Credit monitoring services.
Key deadlines
- Claim form: October 22, 2026
- Opt out / object: October 7, 2026
- Final approval hearing: November 6, 2026
Why this matters
This incident exposed some of the most sensitive categories of personal data — Social Security numbers, government IDs, and in some cases medical information — which raise the long-term risk of identity theft. As with every data-breach settlement, only class members who file a valid claim by the deadline receive benefits.
