Settlement Information

A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against HawaiiUSA, captioned Smith, et al. v. HawaiiUSA Federal Credit Union, Case No. 1CCV-24-0000154, in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit, State of Hawai’i, brought on behalf of all persons whose personally identifiable information was potentially compromised as a result of the cyberattack against HawaiiUSA in December of 2022. The settlement does not mean that HawaiiUSA did anything wrong, or that the Plaintiffs and/or the Settlement Class would, or would not, win the case if it were to go to trial.

Who Is a Class Member?

The Settlement Class is defined as all persons in the United States to whom HawaiiUSA mailed a notification that their information may have been impacted in the Data Incident.
