Who Is Alta Resources Corp. and Why Are They Facing a Data Breach Lawsuit?

Alta Resources Corp. is a business process outsourcing (BPO) company headquartered in Neenah, Wisconsin, with around 2,487 employees and revenue of approximately $722 million. The company has served some of the world’s best-known brands across consumer-packaged goods, healthcare, health insurance, and entertainment industries since 1995. Because Alta handles customer data on behalf of those brands — including sensitive health and financial information — a cyberattack on their systems put tens of thousands of ordinary people at risk.

What Did Alta Resources Corp. Do That Exposed 37,363 People’s Private Data?

On or about November 18, 2023, Alta Resources Corp. discovered encrypted files on certain computer systems. A forensic investigation confirmed that unauthorized access to their servers occurred on November 17 and November 18, 2023, affecting 37,363 individuals.

The files that were accessed may have contained names, Social Security numbers, financial account information, taxpayer identification numbers, other government-issued identification (personally identifiable information, or PII), and protected health information (PHI) including health insurance and other health and medical information.

Affected consumers were not notified of the Alta Resources Corp. data breach until December 20, 2024 — more than a year after the unauthorized access occurred. That 13-month delay is a core part of what the plaintiffs argue put class members at risk. If you got a breach notice from Alta Resources in late 2024, this settlement covers you. For context on how courts have handled similar situations involving delayed notification in data breach compensation cases, the Fidelity Investments $2.5 million data breach settlement and the Comcast Xfinity $117.5 million data breach settlement both involved comparable allegations where companies failed to notify affected individuals for weeks or months.

The class representatives in this case are Laquina Brooks, Nathaniel Jungwirth, Lori Buscher, Sherika Neal, Melissa Kiesow, Deja Tulloch, and Becky Skotzke. Alta denies any wrongdoing, and no court has found them liable.

Are You Part of the Alta Resources Corp. Data Breach Class Action?

Here is exactly how to know if this settlement includes you.

You likely qualify if:

• You received written notice from Alta Resources Corp. stating your private information may have been compromised in the November 2023 data breach
• Your personal data — such as your name, Social Security number, health insurance information, or financial account details — was potentially accessed during the November 17–18, 2023 cyberattack
• You experienced out-of-pocket costs related to the breach, such as credit monitoring fees, ID replacement costs, or losses from identity fraud

You do NOT qualify if:

• You are an Alta Resources employee, officer, director, parent company, or affiliate
• You already submitted a valid opt-out request before the June 2, 2026 deadline
• You were reimbursed by a third party for the same expenses you are trying to claim

Do Alta Resources Data Breach Victims Outside Wisconsin Still Qualify?

Yes. The class covers all individuals who were notified that their private information was potentially compromised in the November 2023 data breach — the case is filed in Wisconsin but the class is not limited to Wisconsin residents. The breach affected a total of 37,363 individuals, including residents from various states. Wherever you live, if you got a notice from Alta, you are covered.

If you are unsure whether you qualify for the Alta Resources Corp. data breach settlement, a free consultation with a data privacy attorney can help you assess your situation before the August 17, 2026 deadline.

How Much Can Alta Resources Corp. Data Breach Settlement Class Members Recover?

All class members are eligible for two years of credit monitoring from a credit bureau, which comes with $1 million in identity theft insurance and includes real-time monitoring of your credit file, dark web scanning, and comprehensive public records monitoring.

On top of that, you pick one of two cash payment options:

Expense Reimbursement — Up to $2,000

If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the data breach, you can receive up to $2,000. Losses must have occurred between November 17, 2023, and August 17, 2026, and you cannot claim payment for expenses already reimbursed by a third party. Covered expenses include losses from identity theft or fraud, fees paid for credit reports or credit freezes, ID replacement costs, and postage to contact banks by mail. You need to submit proof such as bank statements or receipts — self-prepared notes alone are not enough.

Flat Cash Payment — Expected $50 (No Proof Needed)

Instead of expense reimbursement, you can claim a one-time cash payment expected to be $50, though it may be larger or smaller depending on the total number of claims filed. No documentation is required for this option.

One important thing to know: there is an aggregate cap of $675,000 on settlement benefits. If the total value of all claims exceeds $675,000, individual payments will be reduced proportionally so the total does not go over that amount. In plain terms: the more people who file, the smaller each check could be. Filing now, rather than waiting, does not guarantee a larger payment — but it does guarantee you are in the pool.

Settlements over $600 may be reported to the IRS. Check with a tax professional about how this applies to your situation.

Should Alta Resources Corp. Class Members Opt Out or Object Before the Deadline?

What Does Opting Out of the Alta Resources Corp. Settlement Mean for Your Rights?

The opt-out deadline was June 2, 2026. If you opted out, you will not receive settlement benefits or payments, but you keep any rights you may have to sue Alta on your own about the legal issues in this case. If you did not opt out, you are in the class. Most people should not opt out unless they have significant individual damages and have already spoken with an attorney about a separate case.

How to Object to the Alta Resources Corp. Settlement Terms Before the Objection Deadline

The objection deadline was also June 2, 2026. To object, class members must file a written objection with the Clerk of Court at 415 Jackson St., Oshkosh, WI 54901, and send copies to the settlement administrator, class counsel, and counsel for Alta. Objecting means telling the court you think the settlement is unfair while still remaining in the class. If you are considering objecting, speaking with a class action lawsuit attorney first is strongly recommended.
