Who Is Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies and Why Are They Being Sued for a Data Breach?

Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies is a contract biopharmaceutical manufacturer with North Carolina operations, the kind of company that holds deep HR files — Social Security numbers, driver’s license scans, passport copies, retirement account details, medical records — on thousands of current and former workers. That’s exactly the data an internal HR or payroll system breach exposes. Court records in Johnson et al. v. Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies U.S.A., Inc. allege the company failed to secure that information against unauthorized access.

What Did Fujifilm Diosynth Do to Its Employees Between September and October 2025?

According to the settlement notice, Fujifilm’s IT team was alerted to suspicious activity on company systems on or around September 4, 2025. The company brought in a third-party cybersecurity vendor, and by October 2025 it began notifying state regulators and mailing letters to affected current and former employees. The exposed information included names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license information, passport numbers, retirement account information, and medical information.

That combination matters. A breach exposing an email address is an inconvenience. One exposing your Social Security number alongside your passport and medical records is a different category of risk — it’s enough to open new credit lines, file fraudulent tax returns, or worse.

Fujifilm denies any wrongdoing and hasn’t been found liable by any court. It agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation, which is standard. Honestly, though — for data this sensitive, the $175,000 total pool set aside for documented losses looks thin next to what identity theft can actually cost someone.

Who Qualifies for the Fujifilm Diosynth Data Breach Settlement?

Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.

You may qualify if you:

• Are a current or former Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies employee whose private information was affected by the 2025 data incident
• Received a notice letter from Fujifilm about the incident
• Live anywhere in the United States and can be identified as part of the Settlement Class through Fujifilm’s own records

You do not qualify if you:

• Never received notice and can’t otherwise show your information was involved
• Are a customer or vendor rather than a current or former employee — this breach involved HR and personnel data, not customer records

Fujifilm Diosynth Employees Outside North Carolina — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. The Settlement Class is defined as all U.S. residents whose private information was affected, regardless of what state they live in now or worked in when employed. North Carolina is only the venue because that’s where the underlying lawsuit was filed.

How Much Can Fujifilm Diosynth Data Breach Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $2,500 Per Person

You get to pick one of two payment paths. The simple one: a flat $50 cash payment, no documentation required. The other: up to $2,500 for documented out-of-pocket losses tied to the breach — bank fees, cell phone charges billed by the minute, postage, gas for related travel, or fees for credit monitoring you bought yourself.

Here’s the catch. Fujifilm’s total liability for documented-loss claims is capped at $175,000 combined, across every class member who chooses that option. If claims add up to more than that, each payout gets cut down pro rata — more filers claiming losses means a smaller cut for everyone. The $50 flat payment doesn’t share that cap.

Every class member also gets two years of free credit monitoring through CyEx Identify Defense Complete, on top of whichever cash option they pick. Enrollment instructions go out after the court’s final approval. If your documented losses are modest, the guaranteed $50 with zero paperwork may honestly be the better math — a $2,500 claim sliced by a pro-rata cut on a $175,000 pool could easily land under $50 once enough people file.

How to File Your Fujifilm Diosynth Data Breach Settlement Claim — Step by Step

1. Go to the official claim site at flbdatasettlement.com/form/claim
2. Choose your payment option — the flat $50, or documented losses up to $2,500
3. Enter your name, contact information, and confirm your notice details
4. If claiming documented losses, upload supporting records like receipts, phone bills, or bank statements
5. Submit and save your confirmation
6. Watch for enrollment instructions for credit monitoring after the court’s final approval

Takes about five minutes for the $50 option, a bit longer if you’re gathering documentation. That money sits in the settlement until you claim it — do nothing, and you get nothing.

Should Fujifilm Diosynth Class Members Opt Out or Object Before November 25, 2026?

What Opting Out of the Fujifilm Diosynth Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means no cash, no credit monitoring, and no benefits from this settlement — but you keep the right to sue Fujifilm Diosynth on your own over the same data incident. Most people shouldn’t opt out without talking to a lawyer first. To exclude yourself, you must mail a signed written request to the settlement administrator, postmarked by November 25, 2026 — you cannot opt out by phone or email.

How to Object to the Fujifilm Diosynth Settlement

Objecting keeps you in the Settlement Class while letting you tell the court, in writing, why you disagree with the deal or the requested attorneys’ fees, before the December 11, 2026 final approval hearing. Objections must be filed with the Wake County Clerk of Superior Court and mailed to Class Counsel, Defendant’s Counsel, and the settlement administrator, postmarked by November 25, 2026, and must include specific information required by the settlement notice, including your objection grounds and any prior objection history.

Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before November 25, 2026 if you’re considering either option.

Fujifilm Diosynth Data Breach — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 26CV012339-910

Do I need a lawyer to file a Fujifilm Diosynth data breach settlement claim? 

No. Most people can complete the online claim form themselves at flbdatasettlement.com. A free consultation with a data privacy attorney can help if your losses were significant or your situation is unusual.

Is the Fujifilm Diosynth settlement legitimate? 

Yes. It comes from a real case, Johnson et al. v. Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies U.S.A., Inc., No. 26CV012339-910, pending before Judge Hoyt G. Tessener in Wake County Superior Court, and is run by settlement administrator Simpluris.

When will Fujifilm Diosynth settlement payments be sent? 

After the court’s December 11, 2026 final approval hearing, assuming the settlement is approved and becomes final. No specific payment date has been announced yet.

What if I missed the Fujifilm Diosynth claim deadline?

 Claims submitted after November 25, 2026 are typically rejected. File before that date — contact the administrator at (833) 591-3453 if you have questions about your specific timing.

Will my Fujifilm Diosynth settlement payment go on a 1099? 

The settlement notice doesn’t address tax reporting directly. Given the small payment amounts involved ($50 or documented losses up to $2,500), a 1099 is unlikely but not guaranteed — check with a tax professional if you’re unsure.

Am I part of the Fujifilm Diosynth lawsuit if I was a customer, not an employee? 

No. This settlement covers current and former employees whose HR and personnel information was exposed — not customers or outside parties.

How do I know if Fujifilm Diosynth’s breach affected my cell phone number, my Social Security number, or my other data? 

Check the notice letter you should have received. If you’re unsure, contact the settlement administrator at info@FLBDataSettlement.com or (833) 591-3453 to confirm your status.
