Did you get a notice about the FTC’s settlement with CafePress? You may be eligible for a payment.
The FTC is sending claim forms to more than 184,000 consumers who had their Social Security number exposed in the CafePress data breach.
According to the FTC, CafePress failed to use reasonable data security measures and misled users about its data security practices. After a major data breach, the company failed to share important information with CafePress users. Information about the hack could have helped users protect themselves. The settlement required the company to improve its data security programs and to pay money, which the FTC is using to help people who had their Social Security number exposed in the breach.
If you got an email or letter with a claim number, then you can request a payment.
