The mobile banking app was hit with a class action lawsuit for failing to protect its users from several security breaches that occurred in 2022 and 2023. Block Inc., which owns Cash App denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to settle for $15 million. That means, Cash App users are entitled to up to $2,500 by submitting a claim online.
Cash App, whose parent company Block Inc. (formerly known as Square) was founded by Jack Dorsey, surged in popularity on Reddit as a Robinhood alternative for trading Bitcoin and stocks. Then in 2021, a former employee downloaded investing reports, gaining access to users' personal financial data. Another breach occurred in 2023 by using recycled phone numbers linked to user accounts to access financial information. According to the complaint, given the multiple breaches, Cash App "utterly failed to properly secure and protect customer accounts."
