May 29 Claim Deadline: Tyler Technologies Breach Victims Can Still Secure Up to $3,500—Act Now
FINAL ALERT: Fewer Than Three Days Remain to Claim Your Tyler Technologies Data-Breach Settlement
May 29 deadline looms for victims of the 2024 STAR-system hack-potential payouts up to $3,500 plus three years of credit monitoring.
[May 26, 2025] - Time is running out for people whose personal information was swept up in the March 23, 2024 cyber-attack on Tyler Technologies, Inc., the public-sector software company behind the STAR regulatory-filing platform. Anyone who received an official notice can file a claim no later than Wednesday, May 29, 2025-or permanently forfeit cash compensation and other benefits.
What Happened?
Hackers linked to the LockBit ransomware gang slipped into a Tyler-hosted cloud segment that houses STAR application data. Soon after, LockBit boasted online that it had dumped roughly 1 GB of files tied to the District of Columbia Department of Insurance, Securities & Banking (DISB) and threatened to expose more-claiming, without official confirmation, that some material related to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Data Exposed
The attackers accessed highly sensitive personally identifiable information (PII), including:
- Full names
- Contact details (e-mail addresses, phone numbers)
- Dates of birth
- Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification numbers
Am I Eligible?
You are part of the settlement class if you are a U.S. resident who received a mailed or e-mailed notice stating that your PII was compromised in the March 2024 incident-or if Tyler held other contact information for you at that time. The class-action complaint alleges Tyler failed to use reasonable security to protect consumer data; the company denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle.

Protect Yourself Going Forward
Even if you file:
- Review bank, credit-card, and insurance statements frequently.
- Check your credit at least twice a year; place a fraud alert or credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion if you detect suspicious activity.
- Use unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication everywhere possible.
- Stay alert to phishing e-mails or texts that request sensitive data.
