Between February 12 and February 15, 2024, cybercriminals infiltrated computer systems owned by Aspire USA, LLC, a subsidiary of AllTrust Networks’ parent company Valsoft Corporation. The breach wasn’t detected until February 14, when AllTrust discovered unusual activity on Aspire’s non-production network.
What Happened In The AllTrust Data Breach
The February 2024 Cyberattack
On February 14, 2024, AllTrust Networks became aware of suspicious activity on a computer network managed by its subsidiary Aspire USA. Internal security teams halted an unauthorized file transfer in progress and immediately launched an investigation with third-party cybersecurity experts.
The forensic investigation revealed that an unauthorized actor accessed Aspire’s systems and extracted files containing sensitive personal information between February 12-15, 2024. The compromised data included names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, government-issued identification numbers, financial account information, and email usernames and passwords.
AllTrust Networks operates as a financial solutions software company based in Herndon, Virginia. Originally founded in 1999 as BioPay, the company changed its name to AllTrust Networks in 2008. Today, AllTrust provides risk management and check processing services to thousands of retailers nationwide, with products like Paycheck Secure and Retail Connect serving over 8.5 million enrolled customers.
Delayed Notification Timeline
AllTrust began mailing data breach notification letters to affected individuals on February 27, 2025—more than one year after the breach occurred. This substantial delay mirrors issues seen in the WebTPA data breach settlement, where an eight-month notification delay increased settlement value and regulatory scrutiny.
The company reported the incident to state attorneys general, including Maine and Texas, as required by state data breach notification laws. AllTrust also notified the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as the breach potentially affected protected health information.
Class Action Lawsuit And Settlement
On October 1, 2025, plaintiffs Jolie Esparza, Rohenan Haynie, Gino Ortiz, Shely Foster, and Scott Smith filed a consolidated class action complaint in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in Broward County, Florida (Case No. CACE-25-014963).
The lawsuit alleged AllTrust and Aspire USA failed to implement adequate cybersecurity measures to protect personal information, violated California privacy laws including the Consumer Privacy Act and Consumer Records Act, breached implied contracts with customers, and engaged in unjust enrichment and negligence.
AllTrust denies all allegations but agreed to settle to avoid the expense, burden, and uncertainty of continued litigation. The company does not admit any fault, liability, or wrongdoing as part of the settlement agreement.
Who’s Eligible And Compensation Amounts
Settlement Class Definition
You’re automatically part of the settlement class if you’re a living individual residing in the United States who received a data breach notification letter from AllTrust Networks indicating your private information may have been impacted in the February 12-15, 2024 incident.
California residents identified as having personally identifiable information accessed in the breach qualify for additional compensation as part of the California Settlement Subclass.
Excluded from the settlement are AllTrust directors, officers, agents, and employees, governmental entities, the judge assigned to the case, and court staff.
Three Payment Options
Settlement class members must choose ONE cash payment option when filing their claim:
Cash Payment A – Documented Losses: Claim up to $2,500 per person for extraordinary documented losses related to the data breach. Eligible expenses include losses from identity theft or fraud, unreimbursed credit monitoring fees, security freeze costs, replacement ID expenses, and other verifiable out-of-pocket losses.
Losses must have occurred between February 14, 2024 and March 3, 2026, must be more likely than not caused by the data breach, and you must have made reasonable efforts to seek reimbursement from other sources first. You cannot claim expenses already reimbursed by AllTrust’s initial breach notification offering or insurance coverage.
Cash Payment B – Flat Cash: Receive an estimated $25 flat payment without providing any documentation. This is subject to pro-rata reduction if total claims exceed $200,000.
California Statutory Award: California Settlement Subclass members can receive an additional $50 statutory payment on top of either Cash Payment A or B. This payment is capped at $100,000 total and subject to pro-rata reduction if claims exceed that amount.
Credit Monitoring: All settlement class members can enroll in one year of CyEx’s Financial Shield Pro credit monitoring, which includes real-time credit monitoring with one bureau, dark web scanning, security freeze assistance, victim support, $1 million identity theft insurance with no deductible, and access to fraud resolution agents.
Similar to compensation structures in the Kaiser $47.5M healthcare data breach settlement, the AllTrust settlement provides tiered payment options balancing documentation requirements with compensation amounts.

Critical March 3, 2026 Deadline
Online claims must be submitted by March 3, 2026. Mailed claims must be postmarked no later than March 3, 2026. This is also the deadline to opt out of the settlement or file objections.
Missing this deadline means you forfeit all rights to compensation from the settlement. You’ll still be bound by the settlement agreement and cannot sue AllTrust separately over this data breach.
Required Documentation
For Cash Payment A documented losses, attach all supporting evidence including bank statements, credit card statements showing fraudulent charges, receipts for credit monitoring services, invoices for identity theft remediation, credit reports showing fraudulent accounts, and correspondence with creditors or identity theft resolution services.
Proof must show the losses are fairly traceable to the AllTrust data breach. Generic security expenses unrelated to the breach won’t qualify for reimbursement.
Payment Timeline
The court will hold a final approval hearing on March 16, 2026 at 9:30 AM Eastern Time via Zoom. Settlement payments and credit monitoring activation codes will be distributed approximately 75 days after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved.
Based on typical settlement timelines, approved claims will likely be paid in summer or fall 2026. Payments will be issued via your selected payment method on the claim form.
What Rights You’re Releasing
By participating in the settlement, you release AllTrust Networks, Aspire USA, Valsoft Corporation, and all related parties from any legal claims arising from the February 2024 data breach. This includes all past, present, and future claims related to the incident, whether known or unknown.
If you want to preserve your right to sue AllTrust separately, you must submit a written opt-out request postmarked by March 3, 2026. However, opting out means you receive no settlement benefits.
The release is comprehensive and covers all theories of liability that were or could have been asserted based on the facts of the data breach.
FAQ
How do I know if I’m part of the settlement class?
If you received a data breach notification letter from AllTrust Networks about the February 2024 incident, you’re automatically part of the settlement class. AllTrust maintains records of affected individuals, so you don’t need additional proof beyond the notification letter.
Can I claim both documented losses and the flat payment?
No. You must choose either Cash Payment A (up to $2,500 documented losses) OR Cash Payment B ($25 flat payment). California residents can add the $50 California Statutory Award to whichever cash payment option they select, plus enroll in free credit monitoring.
What if I don’t have receipts for my losses?
You need documentation for Cash Payment A. Acceptable proof includes bank statements showing fraudulent charges, credit reports listing unauthorized accounts, invoices from identity theft services, or correspondence with creditors. If you cannot document losses, select Cash Payment B for the $25 flat payment.
Will I receive the full $2,500 or $25?
Unlikely. The flat payment of $25 is subject to pro-rata reduction if total claims exceed $200,000. Based on 161,359 affected individuals, if a significant portion files claims, payments will be reduced. The documented losses payment has no specific cap but requires proof.
Is this settlement different from the Evolve Bank data breach?
Yes. While some Affirm customers were affected by both the AllTrust breach and the Evolve Bank breach, these are separate incidents with different settlement agreements. The Evolve breach claim deadline was October 30, 2025, while the AllTrust deadline is March 3, 2026.
How long should I monitor my credit after this breach?
Experts recommend monitoring for at least 3-5 years after any breach involving Social Security numbers and financial information. Identity thieves often wait months or years before using stolen data. Place security freezes with all three major credit bureaus for maximum protection.
What happens at the March 16, 2026 final approval hearing?
The court will decide whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate for the class. The judge will also consider any objections and determine whether to approve the requested attorneys’ fees of up to $600,000 and $2,500 service awards for each class representative. You don’t need to attend unless you filed an objection.
