McLean Mortgage Corporation was a Virginia mortgage lender that handled home-purchase and refinancing applications. Mortgage lending can require borrowers and workers to provide identity, financial, and insurance information. This settlement concerns a targeted October 2024 cyberattack and allegations that files containing private information were potentially accessed.
Class representatives Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan, Micah Parks, and Priscilla Millberry pursued the consolidated case. The lawsuit alleges that files may have contained names, Social Security numbers, driver's-license numbers, financial-account numbers, passport numbers, health-insurance information, and other personally identifiable information.
McLean denies wrongdoing, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has not decided which side is right. The court authorized notice and the claims process but has not granted final approval.
Class members may claim three years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete monitoring and choose documented-loss benefits or a $45 alternative payment. Ordinary losses are capped at $1,000; extraordinary fraud or identity-theft losses are capped at $4,000; lost time is capped at four hours at $25 per hour and counts toward the $1,000 ordinary-loss cap when both are claimed. The $45 option cannot be combined with other cash payments. Claims are due December 10, 2026.
Claim CyEx Financial Shield Complete one-bureau monitoring with fraud-resolution help and $1 million in financial-fraud insurance. An enrollment code is sent by email after the benefit is claimed. Monitoring may be combined with either cash path.
Claim documented, unreimbursed expenses caused by the incident from October 17, 2024 through December 10, 2026. Up to four hours of time may be claimed at $25 per hour. Ordinary losses and time together are capped at $1,000.
Claim documented, unreimbursed money lost to identity theft or fraud directly caused by the incident after reasonable efforts to prevent or recover the loss. This cannot duplicate an ordinary-loss claim.
Choose this instead of ordinary losses, extraordinary losses, and lost time. No proof or explanation is required, but the claim must still be truthful, timely, and approved.

Yes. Monitoring may be combined with the documented-loss cash path or the $45 alternative. The $45 payment cannot be combined with ordinary losses, extraordinary losses, or lost time.
The official materials allow one or more cash options other than the alternative payment, but extraordinary losses cannot duplicate amounts covered as ordinary losses. Each category must meet its own proof and causation rules.
Ordinary and extraordinary losses require independent documents such as receipts, statements, police reports, or insurance claims. Self-created notes may support other proof but are insufficient alone. Lost time requires a signed description. The $45 alternative does not require loss proof.
No. McLean denies wrongdoing, and the court has not decided which side is right. The settlement remains subject to final approval.
You receive no benefit. Unless you validly opted out, you remain in the class and give up covered claims against McLean if the settlement becomes final.
