In September 2023, GeoTek Inc. experienced a targeted cyberattack that compromised sensitive employee data, including names, addresses, and Social Security numbers. A class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of current and former employees whose information was affected. The Superior Court of San Diego County has authorized a $150,000 settlement to provide benefits to eligible Class Members. Affected individuals can claim up to $2,000 for out-of-pocket expenses, a cash payment of approximately $25 or $75 for California residents, and two years of credit monitoring services. The claim deadline is December 1, 2026. The settlement aims to resolve the lawsuit without determining liability, as both parties opted for this resolution to avoid trial costs.
