Canada Tax Data Breach Settlement | Canada News
Description
If you had a My CRA or My Service Canada account in Canada back in 2020, you might be owed money—up to $5,000 total—from a massive government data breach settlement. Hackers accessed login systems between March and December 2020, and a class action lawsuit was settled for $8.76 million. You qualify if your info was exposed without permission during that window, and your account was specifically accessed—or used fraudulently—between June 15 and August 30, 2020. You could get $80 for unauthorized access or $200 if your info was misused, plus up to $5,000 for out-of-pocket losses like identity theft costs (with receipts required). Claims are open via KPMG’s portal since August 4, 2023, and must be filed by February 3, 2027. Apply now with your name, SIN, email, and estimated cleanup time—e-transfer or cheque payments available. Don’t wait—this could be your chance to get compensated.
